Hey there,

 

I am looking at this very same thing.  Was reading a little about it
yesterday and going to read more today.  May try to implement something,
depends on how my reading goes

Hi All

Topic of VM's came up this week, and its something I am trying to focus on
more with our current environment.

 

VMWare introduce a method called "Consolidated Backups" - Below is an
extract of what it can achieve....

VMware Consolidated Backup (Consolidated Backup)

- Feature that provides an easy-to-use, centralised facility for agent-free
backup of virtual machines. It simplifies backup administration and reduces
the load on ESX servers.

- The recommended way to perform daily backups of virtual machines residing
on a SAN.

- A VCB Proxy must have access to all the SAN arrays containing VMFS volumes
(data stores) with virtual disks on them.

-Changes are cached on the proxy as "transient writes" and are discard once
the disk is unmounted

Reduce the load on the ESX systems by moving the backup tasks to one or more
dedicated backup proxies

Avoid congesting and overloading the data centre network infrastructure by
enabling LAN-free backup.

Eliminate the need for a backup window by moving to a snapshot-based backup
approach.

Simplify backup administration by making optional the deployment of backup
agents in each virtual machine we back up.

Back up virtual machines that are powered off.

Would anyone know if NBU 5.1 MP5 actually would work on this? what I am
trying to understand is how it integrates with NBU - More importantly, does
anyone do anything like this? I will carry on researching from this end (and
even look at the VM Tech Boards), but if anyone has any comments, great!
