Hi,
I was reading this from the manual:
Consolidated Backup runs a set of scripts. The pre-backup scripts quiesce the virtual disks and generate snapshots. Once completed, the
post-backup scripts restore the virtual machine back to normal operation. At the same time, it mounts the disk
snapshot to the backup proxy server. Finally, the third-party backup agent backs up the files on the mounted
snapshot to its backup targets. By taking snapshots of the virtual disks and backing them up through a separate
backup proxy server, Consolidated Backup provides a simple and low-overhead backup solution for the virtual
environment, and is less intrusive than running backups inside each guest virtual machine.
This sounds different then the current method in were the VM stay's in snapshot mode for as long as the backup agent takes to backup(/tranfser) the VM. Am I reading this wrong or is it really changed?
Thanks,
Kenneth
