Hi!
I am new to Vo the VDR. Can anyone point me to the steps / settings i need to follow in order to perform SAN mode backups using VDR? Does it need any special licenses?
Thanks in advance
Rahul
Does it need any special licenses?
It required that your ESX is licenses for this features (Essential Plus, Advanced, Enterprise or Enterprise Plus).

It's done on a VM by VM basis. not on the SAN side.

Thanks!Which means the performance could be lesser compared to VCB backups using SAN transport mode?
The performance is near to VCB in hot-add mode.
But VDR after the first full backup will make incremental backups...
So it may be faster, cause less data will be transfer.
