Backup and Restore of Virtual Machines
Using snapshots is not a supported method for 800xA server nodes. There is a
reduction in performance when running a virtual machine that has snapshots. If a
snapshot has been made of a running virtual machine it can take longer to start the
virtual machine. It is also possible to accidentally snapshot back to a previous state
of the virtual machine which could interfere with production and potentially loose a
great deal of data.
Virtual machines running in an ESX(i) server are backed up as if they are physical
computers. The virtual machines are booted from an Acronis CD (in this case an
ISO image that is uploaded to the ESX(i) Server), and the backup and restore made
to a file server on the network.
