Hi,
I need to backup my virtual Vcenter (win2003) running on a Vsphere srv with VCB 1.5 but I received a bad error from VSS driver.
The error occur in the vcenter windows event log during the snapshot creation time.
I tried to close all services before making the snapshot and the error still there.
The database is SQL 2005 Express
question - What is the best solution strategy for backing up a virtual Vcenter ? thanks !
