ESXi and VCB

[joboo12]

Looking for some direction on how to leverage VCB to perform Full Backups on VMs located on NFS DS and Local DS. I have installed VCB 1.1 on a Windows 2003 Physical Server. I plan to copy the Full VM Backups to this physical sever using vcbmounter and then copying the folder(s) to an offsite storage vault as part of a Backup Strategy. Can someone provide the correct syntax for the vcbmounter to perform this type of backup?

I ave tried the following without success

vcbmouter -h esxihosta -u username -p password -a name:testserver -r d:\backups -t fullvm

The error I Get is:

• The host name used for the connection does not match the subject name on the h

ost certificate

• A certificate in the host's chain is based on an untrusted root.

Fixed the issue. Needed to add "-m nbd" since the VM was located on an NFS DS.
