Now that VDR is here...any benefits of continuing with vRanger?

[Kevin_Gao]

So we're upgrading to vSphere and I'm just wondering should I even bother renewing all my vRanger Pro licenses? Anyone else out there ditch their 3rd party backup's or is there another reason to keep them?

Hi Kevin,

it is not the backup of a single machine that i'm talking about. Backup works, slower than VCB, but it works.

My Problem is with Integrity check / Recatalog. There is no time left to do backups when these checks never finish.

Additionally it tends to damage it's own restore point.

See the folllowing Post: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/213924?tstart=0

Hi azmir,

I have not opened an SR by now. If you take a look at the following thread () you see other poeple who raised an SR but where put of with "It will be fixed in the next update...".

So would it make a difference if i raise a SR, too? Sure, my expensive platinum support contract would help being put off within a four hour response time...

The experimental file level restore client (for Windows) was posted today. It is available here:

There is also a link to the tech note for the file level restore client (for Windows) underneath the link for the file.

Thanks !

Thanks, It works well. Shame it can't be done centrally but I guess that will be added later.
