Data backup solution license#
it can do data deduplication (no additional license is required)įirst backup is full, the other are with deduplication (so more effective that a full/incremental schema).Note that you can select individual vmdk (not so simple with some other backup software), that it use a single pass to have image and file level protection and that in some other product the Linux file restore is usually sold apartįile level restore can be handled from the destination VM in a simple way, without the needs of administrative access on the vCenter Server and/or hosts (not so simple to implement with other products) Works in a virtual appliance (no addition hardware is required)Įasy deployment with initial setup wizardīackup are at image level (and restore can be at file level, also for Linux VM)

Works with a GUI (integrated in vCenter) quite simple to understand It could be cheaper than other solution?! Probably yes, but with less functions It require vSphere and a valid license for VDR (actuall all version, except the Essential Bundle has the VDR license) It is a backup product and solution that can be used for SMB Note that this product works quite like the old esXpress (similar idea to have virtual appliance that handle the backup procedure). But now (from 1.2 release) could be one possible backup solution (of course with its limits).

I do not work for VMware and I'm not writing that VDR is the best backup product!įirst versions were affected by some bugs and issues.
