I'm not sure where to start with vDR, but I have been working with 1.1 and out of the gate I thought it was working pretty well. But then I started noticing a number of failed jobs. I was also noticing that giving the appliance as much as 4 vCPUs, it would run for a considerable amount of time at 100% utilization. I have moved to 1.2 and created a new windows share to store backups. Every night a few backups have errors and the destination will be locked until about one-third of my restore points are marked for deletion and an integrity check is run.
My hosts are ESX4 with U1 and all of my guests are v7 and 2003, 32 and 64 with SP2.
Are other experiences with vDR 1.x about the same as mine? I'm having trouble feeling confident in this as a backup strategy with the amount of attention I am having to give it. I'm not really sure where to start troubleshooting, although I have been in the 1.2 technical document.
I appreciate any help you guys can give me.
