We've just gotten iSCSI going on our 3.5 ESX servers and are running VirtualCenter 2.5. I am trying to ascertain the most efficient design for our vm backups. Can we just leverage NDMP to back up our VMFS volume? The Backup Exec software sees the VMFS volume and we will be using NDMP to backup other non-vm data on the SAN through an HBA initiator. The LUN is on a NetApp SAN which is enabled and configured for NDMP via Backup Exec 11d (on Windows Server 2003) and a robotic tape library. If we install the integration module for Backup Exec as well as the VCB software on the Backup Exec server, will this work?
Thanks,
