VMware Data Recovery Key ComponentsVMware Data Recovery Key Components Backup and Recovery Appliance
- Linux appliance in OVF format - leverages vStorage API for Data Protection to discover, manage backup and restore
- First backup is full VM, then incremental forever- VM or file level restore
VMware vSphere- VSS support via VMware Tools- Changed block tracking functionality allows backups to
VM or file level restore
- Changed block tracking functionality allows backups to be more efficient
Destination Storage- Any VMFS storage: DAS, NFS, iSCSI or Fibre Channel
