For larger VM deployments we will set up a second or more NAS devices.<br /><br />Configure the native SBS or Windows Server Backup to back up the VM to a VHD (backup drive) on the NAS.<br /><br />Configure a StorageCraft ShadowProtect backup to run to an eSATA connected external drive (~45-75 MB/Second) for off-site rotation. The SP backup will have a password set and at least AES 128bit encryption to protect those backup files.<br /><br />We coordinate the WSB, SP backup, and the volume shadow copy (Previous Versions) local backups to not conflict with each other's VSS requests to prevent data corruption.<br /><br />PhilipPhilip Elder Cluster MVPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06082028960643490292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5976686513564131325.post-24284127418910189122010-10-05T12:45:29.050-06:002010-10-05T12:45:29.050-06:00Floppies, just kidding, have you looked into Acron...Floppies, just kidding, have you looked into Acronis?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5976686513564131325.post-30190230507992542852010-10-05T08:57:50.970-06:002010-10-05T08:57:50.970-06:00Hi Philip,
Unrelated to this post, but on the sub...Hi Philip,<br /><br />Unrelated to this post, but on the subject of Hyper-V server 2008: What is your preferred solution to backing up VMs under hyper-v server r2? I am looking at doing a virtualized SBS Premium installation, but finding it difficult to decide on the easiest, most automated backup solution for my clients. What are you doing for this?<br /><br />Thanks!andrewnoreply@blogger.com
