I downloaded and installed VBR recently. It seems I'm a bit confused here in terms of destinations and backup/copy methods.
The test machine that VBR is installed on cannot see the LUNs that the ESX host can. They are on different networks. Within VBR, I added my VCenter 4 server.
It seems if I perform a copy with VBR I can select individual datastores viable to the ESX hosts and copy files from one datastore to another datastore.
Now with the backup function, it seems when I select the destination, the datastores do not show up as they would with the copy method above. Now, I did see I can select an ESX host then browse to vmfs/volumes/ and see the datastores that way. Is this the proper way to backup from datastore to datastore? Or is their a way similar to the copy method?

Re: Confused on Backup vs Copy
Yes, this is correct way to specify destination when backing up to another ESX server.
