I have a windows 2003 server with Snapdrive 4.2.1 and I was wondering how I can mount a snapshot of a volume that holds vmware luns. Is this possible? I was told that this is feasible with VCB framework installed; however, I currently receive an error: "unable to connect disk. Failure in connecting to the virtual disk. Error: A timeout of 600 secs elapsed while waiting for the volume arrival notification from the operating system". I have verified that I can mount exchange volume snapshots for SMBR recovery on this machine.
Also, what are others here doing for image level backups of their VM's? Are there better/cheaper alternatives to VCB and SMVI? How is SMVI working out for those of you out there using it?
Thanks.
