Louw,
If VCB has no future with ESXi, maybe VMware Data Recovery for image backups
with global de-duplication for all guests + FLR on guests to restore files is
the best solution now?
For me is not clear, what is the relationship between TSM and VDR backup
appliance?
I hope it is possible to backup de-duplicated VDR images by normal TSM Client?
Kindest regards,

Grigori,.
As I understand it VMware is moving away from the VCB framework method
of backups and is starting to develop their own backup appliance called
VMware Data Recovery - currently at v1.2 - which is a simplistic
disk-to-disk only in-line deduped solution for VMware free with VMware
Advanced licenses and up.
From VMware version ~4 backing up from the Console is network limited
so this is becoming a future-less option.
VMware does provide Storage API's but I assume TSM is still assimilating
them for future features.
So after all is said and done VCB is your best option - clunky as it is
- and backing up from the console is not recommended.
Regards
Louw
