Mount paths that contain non-English, multibyte characters may not display properly. Note: If you do not create this key value pair, the agent creates it for you when the VMware Backup job runs. The agent specifies the default installation path for the Client Agent for Windows as the mount path for your backup operations. For example: C:\Program Files\CA\ARCserve Backup Client Agent for Windows Important: To perform Raw (full VM) level backups of VMs, you must ensure there is sufficient free disk space in the volume specified as the mount path for your backup operations. 8.

Optionally, you can populate the ARCserve database using the ca_vcbpopulatedb command line utility. Important! The VMs in the ESX Server system must be in a running state when you execute this utility. If the VMs are not in a running state, this utility will not populate the CA ARCserve Backup database with information about the VMs. All the VMs must have a host name and IP address assigned and the latest VMware tools installed.

Set Up Backing Up ESX Server Systems Using a Backup Proxy System
7.
On the backup proxy system, open the Windows Registry Editor and
access the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\CA ARCserve
Backup\ClientAgent\Parameters
Create a new String Value and specify the following Value Name:
VMwareAgentBaseMountPath
Modify the Value Data for the string so that it specifies the path where you
want the agent to temporarily mount the VM during the backup operation
as in the following example:
c:\mnt
Important!
Mount paths that contain non-English, multibyte characters
may not display properly.
Note:
If you do not create this key value pair, the agent creates it for you
when the VMware Backup job runs. The agent specifies the default
installation path for the Client Agent for Windows as the mount path for
your backup operations. For example:
C:\Program Files\CA\ARCserve Backup Client Agent for Windows
Important:
To perform Raw (full VM) level backups of VMs, you must
ensure there is sufficient free disk space in the volume specified as the
mount path for your backup operations.
8.
Execute the ARCserve VMware Configuration Tool to populate the CA
ARCserve Backup database with information about your VMware
environment.
Optionally, you can populate the ARCserve database using the
ca_vcbpopulatedb command line utility.
Important!
The VMs in the ESX Server system must be in a running state
when you execute this utility. If the VMs are not in a running state, this
utility will not populate the CA ARCserve Backup database with information
about the VMs. All the VMs must have a host name and IP address
assigned and the latest VMware tools installed.
