hi guys
Reading some documentation for vDR
I see this:
The recommended is at most 2 destinations up to 1TB.
so if I want more destinations sice for instance I already have 2 destinations 1TB each.... in that case Do I have to use a 3 party backup software or install another vDR appliance?
is there a limit of 500GB for a deduplicated VMDK.
So if my VM has a VMDK of 800GB and deduplicated is 600GB it won't be backup
my company works with IBM products so they are telling me that after I install vDR they will use Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM)... this means I have to use Share Network as destination since it's the only way to take my VMs out the SAN to tapes
or I am wrong? I mean I can use VMDK o RDM? I am confused because of this
Destination stores can be stored in RDM with either virtual or physical compatibility. If you plan to save the
destination store to tape by taking snapshots, you will want to use RDM with virtual compatibility. Snapshots
cannot be taken with RDM with physical compatibility.
maybe it is especifying that using RDM and planning to backup to tapes you have to use vRDMs but using VMDK there is no problems for tapes
thanks a lot
