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).

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.  This version is considered experimental because it has significant changes and has not been fully tested.  If you break it you may keep both pieces.

The changes in this version are:

• Fix to the logging code to work correctly if the log directory doesn’t exist.  Hopefully this will fix the backup gui so it will work under SuSE Linux.
• Added partial support for cold and LVM backups of VirtualBox Virtual machines via the command line and GUI.  Only tar, tar.gz and tar.bz2 formats are supported for backups of VirtualBox VMs.  (Note the vmrestore utiltiy does not understand Virtual Box Virtual Machines yet)
• Some code was added to support backing up VMWare Virtual Machines with vmdks in multiple locations (this is not complete however)
• Added some fixes to support configurations in which more than one piece of Virtualization software is installed (tested on a system with both VMWare Workstation and VirtualBox running).
• Added a header to the archives so the vmrestore utility doesn’t need to guess the Virtual Machine type in order to support conversions in the future.
