Backing up Virtual Machine

[Scott Hanson]

Hey team,

I need to pull the virtual machine for CUCM 8.6 off the UCS server, rebuild the server and then restore it.  Does any have a link to the best practices for copying the VM off of the server?

All replies will be rated!!

You need to do a DRS Backup, rebuild the VM, then do a DRS restore.  Actually restoring the VM is not supported from what I've seen.
