How many machines are you backing up at the same time, as I
seem to be reading that only 4 are recommended at a time?
Does anyone have an environment with 100+
VM's?
Simon
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.

under 7.0
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.

Simon
