Also new with vSphere 4 are the vStorage APIs for Data Protection. These APIs are the next generation of VMware Consolidated Backup—they take the benefits of Consolidated Backup, make them significantly easier to deploy, and add several new features that deliver efficient, scalable backup and restore of virtual machines. Like Consolidated Backup, these APIs make it possible to offload backup processing from ESX servers, ensuring that you deliver the best consolidation ratios without disrupting applications and users. These APIs enable backup tools to directly connect the ESX servers and the virtual machines running on them without any additional software installation. They add the ability to enable backup tools to do efficient incremental, differential, and full-image backup and restore of virtual machines. Note: VMware Consolidated Backup 1.5 U1 ships with vSphere 4, however the new features are only available with backup software that leverages these APIs. * * * vCenter Data Recovery is a new tool in for VMware vSphere? users that provides complete data protection for your virtual machines. Note that it is appropriate for smaller environments (100 VMs or less). - It’s a disk-based solution that’s easy to use and fast to backup and restore. - It’s built on the VCB API and is fully integrated with vCenter management to enable centralized and efficient scheduling of backup jobs using an intuitive workflow. Step 1: Backing up your virtual machines is a snap – - First you schedule your backups directly through the vCenter interface. FIRST BUILD CLICK - Snapshots are taken at your scheduled intervals and written to near-line storage (local or shared). - After the first full VM backup, subsequent backups are incremental to save time and disk space. - vCenter Data Recovery also uses disk de-duplication to further reduce the disk space required for backup storage. SECOND BUILD CLICK Step 2: The toughest part of the backup process is recovering your
