Hi all,
I'm just installed VCB on my Windows 2003 Server. I tried to used VCBMOUNTER to backupup my VMs and I got this issues.
vcbmounter -h 192.168.80.14 -u xxxxx -p xxxx -a ipaddr:192.168.80.240 vm> -r e:\ -t fullvm -m san
\[2007-06-14 18:20:49.328 'vcbMounter' 3924 error] Error: Mount point "e:\" already exists.
\[2007-06-14 18:20:49.328 'vcbMounter' 3924 error] An error occured, cleaning up.
Any help will be appreciated \!!!
Thanx
Eric
Have you tried it with a folder name instead of just the e: drive - so -r e:\mnt\vm
Just to clarify Dave's (correct) response: the -r option specifies which folder the backup should be placed in. vcbMounter creates this folder as it goes.
So, if you want the backup to go into a folder called e:\vmname specify that in vcbmounter, but make sure that folder doesn't already exist when you run the command.
You can't put a backup directly into the root directory of a drive, because that will always exist. (If the root directory doesn't exist, you have bigger problems....
)
Hi !
Yes ! I tried C:\mnt or E:\vmware\mnt or E:\mnt ... always the same results : Mount Point already exists. ![]()
Ok : I'll try -r e:\vmware without created the vmware folder. I give you news soon.

Sound good now ! Thanx ... I have other kind of error ... it is me or VCB isn't the strongest software to do backup ?
What's the error you've got, Eric?
Probably the best thing to remember is that VCB isn't a "product", nor is it a "complete backup solution."
It's a set of utilities to get your VMs to a location where your "real" backup solution can work with them.
