Hi Gary et al,
ok, so now I have an idea how VMware works.
Regarding my MYOB specifically, I currently do backups to MYOB weekly as fresh data is input. This typically goes to the MYOB\data directory which is mirrored daily to a NAS configured as a RAID array.
Operating from within the VMware environment on a second networked PC, would I be able to continue backups as normal?
This may sound like a bit of a daft question, but there are still a couple of uncertainties floating around in my mind.
For instance, - so far the backups go by default to the MYOB\data directory, which (after installing VMware) would be contained within the virtual VMware folder sat on the new computer. I'm thinking that this folder probably can't be edited or added to in any way once it's been created. So any future MYOB backups would probably not go to where they used to go.
Have I got that right?
Thanks for your patience
