Consolidated Backup Setup Error

[divine_kane]

Hi

I'm attempting to set up VCB onto a ESX environment, my aim is to set up some scripts to backup the files and then copy these to a USB HDD for backup. I've never used this before so am pretty new.

When i am attempting to take a backup from a NFS Datastore of a TEST BACKUP VM (Test VM of only 2GB) But im getting the following errors:

C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Consolidated Backup Framework>vcbMounter -h ESX-3

Has anyone got any suggestions on how to solve this issue? OR can point me into the direction of a handy user guide.

Many Thanks

Might be a good idea to look at Chapter 2 on page 23 in the VM Backup manual, if you havn't done this already: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_35/esx_3/r35u2/vi3_35_25_u2_vm_backup.pdf

Kane -

Does the VCB Proxy have RW access to the NFS store? I don't believe RO access will work.
