Backing up Linux Virtual Machine files VCB Proxy and Netbackup Enterprise Client?

Can you backup just the virtual machine files and if so what is the policy setup.

 

I have everything at 6.5.2  I have a VCB proxy server setup.  I can do windows full vm backups and individual file backups using all three vmware types 0,1, and 2, but when I go to list the VM's available to backup in the clients list it only list Windows VM's and Novell VM's,   I does not list any Linux VM's?

 

I can load the client in the virutal machie and back it up that way, but I would like to just backup the entire vm disk set if possible and do the whole snap, and then backup to tape.
