Grigori. 1. VCB is still officially the right way for backing up VM's from VMware's (and IBM's) perspective and TSM 6.2 has some nice enhancements to get this done. Unfortunately VCB will be discontinued http://app.connect.vmware.com/e/es.aspx?s=524e=12880125 after ESX 4.x 2. vDR is the new

We at UF are galloping in the VM direction, and I'm dissatisfied with TSM's solutions in this space. Virtualization offers profound simplifying abstractions, and I am beginning to feel I'm losing ground because I can't take advantage of them. With backup-oriented deduped storage devices

Tim, when it comes to VCB backups so long as your VCB Proxy can see the disk the VM is on you can perform a VCB backup of it. If not, you can't. Ray -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Timothy Hughes Sent: Tuesday, June 22, 2010
