My goal is to back up the vmdk files. I understand this can be done with VDR and also with my Symantec Backup Exec 2010 R2. Apparently BU Exec uses the API to access and backup the vmdk files. I have an Advanced vSphere license and VDR is included. I have to purchase an add-on for BU Exec. Cost factors aside, which is the best solution for backing up the vmdk files? I plan to use an available 1.6 TB RAID as the storage location for the vmdk's, but I may also want to backup to tape as well periodically. Environment: Small, 5 VMs, 2 hosts, running FT
