Hi,
Couple of questions and need some advice please.
Network Plan
Host 1 - 2 x 3Ghz Qurd Core CPUs with 16GB Ram, 2 x 1TB Raid 1
VM - Windows 2012 Standard - PDC, Exchange, DNS, DHCP
VM - Windows 2008 R2 - Running Phone System
Host 1 - 2 x 1.8Ghz Qurd Core CPUs with 16GB Ram, 2 x 1TB Raid 1
VM - Windows 2012 Standard - ADC, File Server, DNS
I am hoping that vmware essentials will allow to me use Veeam FREE Backup Software. to take backups manually on the above to host servers.
I will be setting up Windows Backups (Bare Metal Backups) to network storage on a daily bases and want to use Veeam to take VM Backups manually when required, I know ideally i would purchase the paid version of Veeam and to automatic backups but trying to keep costs down at the moment and Veeam seems expensive as i would need to purchase 4 licences for each host / CPU
