Best practice guide - backup and recovery for VMware

Overview

VMware offers extraordinary benefits, but it can come at the cost of extra storage, backup resources, and administrative challenges. EMC Data Domain deduplication storage addresses this challenge by reducing redundant data across VMware data backups, operating at disk speeds, and providing cost-effective replication for fast Disaster Recovery (DR). This white paper reviews the best practices for architecting a backup, recovery and DR approach for VMware using Data Domain systems, regardless of which backup software or scripts are involved.
