Virtual Backups - SD CHI 08
sponsored by Storage Decisions and Diligent Technologies Corporation, an IBM Company
ABSTRACT:
Virtualized server environments are enormously efficient, make managing larger server installations far easier and can save big bucks on hardware and power costs. But they don't necessarily help backup admins. This session will look at the major server virtualization products and describe the pros and cons of the various ways to back up and restore their data. While many of the commercial solutions are VMware specific, the session will also explain what to do if you are using something other than VMware.
Some key topics of this session include:- The current reality and future of virtualized server backup
- Backing up via the guest host
- Manual backup via the virtual console
- VMware consolidated backup
- ESX Ranger
- esXpress
- NetApp's SnapManager for Virtual Infrastructure
- Other Interesting Tools
