I have couple of virtual machines which run SQL 2008. Are there any cons to backing up SQL using the AVVI, is there any drawbacks in terms of restore or should I stick to backing up SQL server using the traditional approach ?
I came across a few forum discussions that along with the VM backup I need to create another job for transaction logs.
Can anyone suggest whats the best approach to backup the SQL server
Thanks in advance.

Sorry but I am confused, should i have the following jobs
1) Backup entire VM (using API)
2) Backup SQL db (agent based)
3) backup transaction logs (agent based)
or
1) Backup entire VM including enable SQL backup (using API)
2) backup transaction logs (agent based)
