I think VCB requires that you are running Virtual Center so you will need to deploy that.

Subject: Re: VMware - snap - backup


Right now I have 2 ESX servers _(no VC) and a filer with 2 shelves - 1
attached to the A-controller and 1 to B. Servers attaching with hardware
iSCSI.

Current backups are done in the box with Backup Exec.
But I was thinking if I could do this more smart with the filers snap
functions.

So I was looking at LUNS with VMFS - RDM and each machine in it's own VOL.


What are NDMP?

But maybe I will go the VCB way instead. Just seemed nice and fast to do the
snaps on the filer.


Regards
Jesper
