I just put up an experimental release of VMBackup (2.94). This version hopefully fixes the new 2.0 support code to perform backups properly.

The new version is available on the download page

Documentation can be found on the documentation page

The changes in this version are:

  1. Added additional checks to several of the VM functions to pass the VM to the vmrun command with the [datastore] vmx format instead of a normal Unix path (The server 2.0 vmrun command was frequently unable to figure out the correct VM the command was reffering to when the Unix path was passed).

The experimental 2.92 version of VMbackup that was released recently has a serious issue with cold backups under VMWare Server 2.0.  This means unfortunately, that VMbackup still does not support cold backups properly under VMware server 2.0.

I just put up an experimental release of VMBackup (2.92). This version adds support for VMware Server 2.0 to the GUI backup utility.

I just put up an experimental release of VMBackup (2.84).  This version is considered experimental because it required significant changes to make it work with VMware Server 2.0 release.

Note, currently only the command line vmbackup utility supports VMware server 2.0.  There will be support for VMware Server 2.0 in the graphical interface in the next release.
