Data Recovery Demonstration

VMware DR vs. VCB Comparison

VMware Data Recovery:

Runs natively on ESX/ESXi hosts
Requires VMware vCenter Server
VSS support (to back up Microsoft Applications)
De-duplication as backups are stored
Not backward-compatible

VMware Consolidated Backup:

Deployed on a centralized proxy
No dependency on VMware vCenter Server
No VSS support
No de-duplication technology
Compatible with ESX/ESXi 3.x hosts
