Is there anyway to connect a USB hard drive to an ESXi Guest OS?

Asked by DReade83 in VMware, Hard Drives & Storage, SBS Small Business Server

I have a ESXi installation running Windows SBS 2003 R2 as the guest OS. However I can't use my USB hard drive to backup SBS as I would if I were running it without ESXi.

Is there a way to connect the USB hard drive into the SBS OS?

If not, what are my options?

Basically all I need is to be able to backup SBS 2003 every now and then. Would an internal HDD be the best way of doing it, or NAS, or is there another way?

Thanks in advance.Start Free Trial
