VCB backups

[amediratta]

I am using EMC Networker and have successfully configured one ESX server VCB backup. When I run more than one backups i.e. try to backup more than one ESX server's VMs simultaneously, it fails?

I read somewhere that it is not recommended to backup more than one ESX server simultaneously to ensure there is less load on the underlying storage. Is it true?

can you post a copy of your pre-exec script ?

Which exact script are you looking for?

Backing up many VMs from many ESX servers at the same time works fine.

One of the performance best practices, is to backup at the same time VMs that are placed on different datastores. But even if you try to backup VMs on the same datastore, it should work. I'm sure there is a problem in your configuration.
