GhettoVCB - CIFS/SMB Shares

Good Day Everyone,

I have a question. Can GhettoVCB backup to a CIFS/SMB mapped share via the ESX Server Console?

Thanks

Yes, you'll need to mount up the share up via mount utility using -t option smbfs or cifs and you should be able to point the backups there. I've not tried but it should work

Okay. So I assume I should merely modfiy the VM_BACKUP_VOLUME parameter and point it to the CIFS share.

Thanks

yep. In the future, for questions regarding the script, post the question on the VMTN doc.
