XenServer Backup MetaData

Backing up the VMs from XenServer is only one part of catering for DR on XenServer. 
The Virtual disks can be backed up within the XenCentre console but the metadata that links the Virtual disks
with the machine information also needs to be backed up. 


This is performed at the CLI


xe vm-export metadata=true --multiple filename=VMEXPORT


This will store the Metadata backup on the path the command is run from.
Then use a tool like WINSCP to grab the files from the Xenserver host and store somewhere securely.
