[Discussion] File location of virtual machines used by VMs application

[polen]

I'm trying to find the file location for the virtual machines used by the VMs application.

I see the VMs app in @apps, but where are the files for each virtual machine?

Thanks,

[MikeZhang]

You may enter

Code: Select all

ls -al /Volume1/

'@Repository' / is the storage pool
'@iSCSI' / is the virtual disk
'@GuestImage' / is the image

Mike, Thanks!

The reason I ask is I want to backup the virtual machines and setting. For VBox I just pointed USBCopy at my virtual machine share. What is the best practice to backup virtual machines and setting for the VMs application?

Thanks,

[MikeZhang]

To back up your virtual machines, it's recommended to try our Centralized Backup app

Currently Centralized Backup app only backs up VMware and Hyper-V. Are you saying that a future version will backup VMs virtual machines?

Yes, the product department is currently evaluating this feature. In the meantime, it is recommended that you back up your VMs by exporting them to a shared folder.
