Re: Good backup solutions for Cloudstack
Marty If you mean disk names being cryptic - you are correct. Speaking of NetApp NFS level snapshot backups, it creates a .snapshot directory with structure for hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, etc.. I had many occasions where a user would mistakenly delete VMs and i had to reverse the deletion - which was a royal pain but eventually worked.

RE: Good backup solutions for Cloudstack
The only problem with this is if you are dong NFS, the VHDs are named very cryptic so you don't have an idea which VM is which.

Re: Good backup solutions for Cloudstack
Thanks for that. How about backing up Secondary Storage and the Cloudstack installation in general?

Re: Good backup solutions for Cloudstack
Veeam works OK for VMware based implementations. You can tag VMs and based on vsphere tag Veeam will automatically pick them up for the backup processing.
