Hi,
I am going to provide a solution to the customer for VMware on Backup Exec.
Please, help me with the below query:-
1. Does the restore of the a single VM will restore the entire system and the application inside that OS, without creating and loading the OS.
2. IS it possible to restore a crashed ESX server.
What is the best practice to make the solution perfect.
Thanks.

This is not related to your original question. Do start a new discussion.

#2, seeing as how it's now ESXi, and there is no full linux shell to drop into... Add to that, VMWare does not want you installing anything on the hypervisor. I'm going to say this advice is NOT advised, supported nor recommended. This advice would apply to only ESX3.0 at best where there was still RHEL running under the covers.
That said, to setup an ESX server takes less than an hour in simple configs. Backup your vCenter server for complete DR so you can restore your configs.

Ralus is Remote agent for Linux Unix System it is installed on Linux or unix machine to perform a backup .. Like you have remote agent for windows which you install on remote windows machine which you want to backup.

Hi Mirnal,
Hope you are doing well.
Sepeate Ralus Agent required requird till Backup Exec 12.5. but For Backup Exec 2010, there is no separate download available, RALUS is included on the DVD, and can be found in the "LinuxUnixMac" folder present at the root of the DVD for Backup Exec for 2010.
