Re: [Veritas-bu] Vmware backups under 7.0

Same here. Works really well.
The only thing I am having concerns
with are the speeds that we're seeing so far. We are getting about 35MB/s
from each VM. What speeds are others seeing?
My only caution would be that you should
be VERY careful when you present the datastore LUNs to the VM Backup Host.
I would highly recommend testing it out with non-production datastores.

Hi Simon,
Works fine, lasts a long
time. You may notice some degradation in throughput on individual VM’s
as opposed to physical servers but nothing a little careful scheduling
can’t get you around. I really like the idea that my offsite backups are
vmdk’s which can be restored and hooked up to any esx system. With windows
VM’s you can also do granular restores. I hear in 7.1 we will be able
to do the same with unix VM’s. We use this in conjunction with netapp
smvi backups for our onsite backups. Very slick and very fast.

Hi everyone, hope your all ok
Anyone got any real world experience on NBU 7.0 and VMware backups?
Now looking at this. Got an EVAL key, and gone through the guide, but sometimes
its good to hear from real world experience.
Regards
Simon
