Hi,
following the blog,
http://blogs.vmware.com/uptime/2009/07/vmware-data-recovery-taking-advantage-of-vsphere-4.html
VDR should be able to add the snapshots of the VMs to the VDR appliance and doing the backup from disk (Shared storage) to disk (Backup device).
I fullfilled the 3 requirements
a. The source virtual disks need to be on
shared storage
b. The ESX host where the VDR appliance is
running needs to have visibility to this shared storage
c. You will need a vSphere edition that
includes Hot Add as a feature
I now noticed, that the backup is running through the network. Our service consoles are limited to 100MBit connections which now becomes the
bottleneck for the backup process.
Do i need to enable anything else to make this working ?
thx, Peter
