Hi,
We have a small customer enviroment with around 100 servers, all of them using Netback agent for backing up. We are looking to virtualize around 30 of these servers using Vsphere & utilize the Data Recovery option for backup and restore. I have a few doubts if anyone could help:
1. What happens to Symantec agents afterwards since if i understand correctly, the data recovery plugin + applicane is a backup mechanism in itself and does not require any other backup software ? Is that true?
2. The data recovery backup appliance- Does this have to be a VM only or can it be installed as a physical server as well? I am planning to keep this with Vcenter server...Any advice??
3. How does it solve the bandwidth problem since if i understand correctly it would utilize the LAN network to send all the backup traffic while with VCB's i could offload all the traffic to SAN and save network bandwidth.
Regards,
Abhi
