Hi
I'm looking for the best configuaration to save our test vm, for patching purposes and other tasks.
VM configuration:
Windows Server 2008R2, SQL Server 2008R2.
Drive C: vmdk dependent - OS
Drive D: vmdk dependent - DB (no RDM)
Drive E: vmdk dependent - Files (no RDM)
Performance policy VMware ESX 5
I will be able to Clone or Snapshot Drives D and E.
I will be able to Backup only drive C with Veeam
I have created a Volume for Drive C, D, E and only this server.
What is the best practice to backup and save this VM.
Thanks for your help
Roland

SolutionHi Roland,
You can use VEEAM and Nimble backups/snapshots together, just not at the same time. What you can do is create a volume collection that synchronises with VMware (on the Nimble array). You can for example take a snapshot every hour. If you additionally want to use VEEAM (to make backups on a non-Nimble device for example) make sure that you're not doing Nimble snapshots during that time (simply modify the volume collection to exclude that time).
Regards,
Arne
