Approaching from the other side, I can confirm that VDR utitlises snapshots as part of the backup process. So if snapshots are forbidden for FT then VDR will not work.

Now thats a handly piece of information that perhaps they might have wanted to add to the marketing materials..oh wait..maybe not....

Nice to know I have a machine thats immune to failure..because god forbid I ever need to restore...

Hi Karyn,

Thanks for the update, but are you planning to enable snapshots of VMs protected by FT as well.

It has been difficult to get customers to make a real use of VMware FT, as most customers seems to priotize VCB backup & snapshots on FT.

I know you had removed the expected release date from this post, though is it possible to PM me with any expected date just to have a feeling of how to face our clients.

Thanks,

Hi Deb0,

I understand why you are anger on this, but look at the shiny side of things. This feature is already out you can test and see how it can benefit you.

Beside hey there is some backup solutions which can still get VMware images without using VCB . Or you can just go use your traditional backup software till the update come out .

Ah not to forget HA is always still there for you.

I hope this help some one, if it does please reward points.

Enjoy,
