We are starting to seriously look at moving a lot of our VMware VM backups from all IP based backups of individual VM's to using VE.
However, the more we look through the documentation for VE, the more questions we have and the more confused we are as to what resources we need (physical or virtual vStorage? SAN/fibre based backups?, etc). I have downloaded all of the bits-and-pieces from Passport for 8.1.6/8.1.7. I grabbed the Redbook on VE but it is a little dated (8.1.2). Can someone (IBM?) with experience with VE for VMware contact us off the list to address some of our questions or perhaps point us to additional documentation/guides. -- *Zoltan Forray* Spectrum Protect (p.k.a.
