Thanks so much for your reply. I do backup in one form or another. If the computer is relatively static I'll backup the .vmdk. Otherwise I use Windows Backup.
Is my understanding correct here?
2. If I have a server with one quad core processor I have, from ESXI's point of view, four available CPU's to allocate to virtuals, correct? And if I had two quad-cores I'd have 8 CPU's to allocate to virtuals?
Thanks for your help and comments on overprovisioning.I opened a thread in the ESXi 4.x forum about this and was told that it's always bad and can cause lots of problems. I guess that's not the case anymore, or never was?
