In a previous ITA Premium research note, “Three Approaches to Backing Up VMware Virtual Machines,” Info-Tech identified three main approaches to backing up virtual machines: guest-based, host-based, and VMware Consolidated Backup-based.
This note will look at how the following vendors approach each of these methods and how well they do the job:
- CA ARCserve
- CommVault Galaxy
- EMC Avamar
- IBM Tivoli Storage Manager
- Symantec NetBackup
- Vizioncore vRanger
Assess the major backup vendors to determine if they can provide solutions that will address business needs.
