Continue with Step a.

a Where VMware Channel communications are fast and reliable, for instance in a LAN topology, you

can directly create the backup files over the VMware Channel connections to a partition on the

Secondary server. To perform this direct backup, click Map Network Drive and specify a network

mapping to the Secondary server. Type the path or browse to the location to receive the backup file.

b Select an appropriate drive letter for the mapping and specify the required share on the Secondary

server using the channel address of the Secondary server as the server name, for example:

\\192.168.1.6\VM_BU.

c Where the VMware Channel connection is slower than 10 Mbit/s or risks an interruption in

connection, for example in a WAN topology, save the backup file locally and manually port the file

to the Secondary server.

d In either scenario, specify the path to an appropriate location for storing the backup file by either

manually typing the path into Backup File Folder or click Browse to locate the folder or network

mapping.

With Windows 2003, vCenter Server Heartbeat takes the backup using the Windows Volume Shadow

Service and does not stop services, thereby preventing downtime. Click Next.
