Hey Mark,
I know we do that with native Hyper-V and it always seem strange to me that if you are running Microsoft VM's you have to purchase Microsoft Datacenter licenses and VMWARE, but I understand some applications are only supported under VMWARE. That being said we use altaro for unattended backups (Microsoft and Linux) and they have a VMWARE version you might want to check out.

Messed up some of our VM servers. I got things rigged back together, but I need to build a more robust VM system. I'm look to move into the VMWare world. I think Vmware Vsphere Essentials Plus is the route I need to go. I may be able to get away with just Essentials, but the extra tools may help. Any thoughts on setup. Currently we run RAID10 on each VM Host and backup to a NAS. I'm thinking I'll keep that setup for the VMWare. If I get Essentials Plus will I be able to to HOT backups of running VMs or is that a third party thing? -- Thanks, Mark mailto:m...@mailmt.com Myakka Communications www.Myakka.com<http://www.Myakka.com> -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
