Deep Dive: Core VMware SAN Cluster Backup with NetBackup and VCB Features: Full integration w/ VMware VCB for off-host backup (no scripts!) VM auto-discovery and configuration VMware SAN Storage VCB VMware Proxy Core VMware Cluster Backup Proxy Media Servers VMware Proxy Backup Infrastructure Datacenter PureDisk or VTL or tape Single-pass backup with granular recovery: recover VMs or files! Optional media server-based deduplication with PureDisk Requirements: Requires shared SAN storage Windows media servers App/DB agent support in 6.5.4
