VMware Consolidated Backup (VCB) Highlights

VMware Data Recovery vs. VCB

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

VCB:

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

VCB Key Features

Integration with most backup providers
Backup proxy server
File-level full and incremental backup
Image-level backup
FibreChannel, iSCSI, NAS, or local storage support
