Consolidated Backup
VMware Consolidated Backup provides an easy to use, centralized backup facility for virtual machines. It enables virtual machine contents to be backed up from a centralized Microsoft Windows 2003 proxy server rather than directly from ESX Server.
- Full image backup of virtual machines for disaster recovery
- Full and incremental file backup of virtual machines running Microsoft Windows operating systems for recovery of individual files and directories
- Fibre Channel tape support. Eliminate backup traffic with LAN-free virtual machine backup.
- Backup proxy server. Remove load from ESX Server by consolidating backup load and management onto a backup proxy server.
- File level full and incremental backup (for virtual machines running Microsoft Windows operating system). Recover individual files and directories.
- Image level backup (for virtual machines running any operating system). Recover entire virtual machine image in the event of disaster.
- Built in integrations with most major backup providers.
- Leverage existing investment in backup agents to move virtual machine data from the Consolidated Backup proxy server to tape devices.
