Hi there
Being alone with backups, I could use some sparring on the subject of
image backups with networker or just normal filelevels.
Seems to me the VCB is redundant, save for the offload part, if you do a
normal file backup includning VSS, you could just deploy a new virtual
machine and restore everything back into that, instead of doing the image
backup and then do the file restore.
Applications like SQL exchange notes etc, will still be restored with the
networker user module..
But am I missing something here ?
We have done serveral full restores, with the normal networker user
interface and it works fine, we rolled back a service pack install, so as
far as I can see its a proven way to do it.
The VCB method, the new one in 7.6 is not stable yet, and while doing a
restore of a full machine it crashed. So is VCB really worth the extra
setup complexity ?
I realise the offload aspect is worth considering too, but is it really
that bad ?
Any thoughts or experiences on this ? Am I missing something that makes
VCBs worth the effort ?
