Hi everybody,
I need your advice to set up a backup&restore solution vmware, paid or free.
I currently have the following configuration:
- Server : HP ProLiant ML350 Gen9 2xE5-2650v3 2.3GHz 10-core 2P 32GB-R P440ar 8SFF 2x800W PS ES EU Tower Server.
- VMware : VMware vSphere 6 Essentials Kit for 3 hosts (Max 2 processors per host).
- vSphere Web Client : Version 6.5.0 Build 4944578
There are three vm on the server and I would like to set up a backup and restore solution.
Here my need :
I would like to perform a full backup of each VM each night to a NAS(synology,asustor, qnap? etc..) on the same network and make a monthly copy of the baclups on the NAS to a NAS in Switzerland.
I have several questions:
Is it possible with VDP? or should I take another solution, example: veeams, OR nakivo ??
How are VMs transferred to the NAS? FTP? iscsi? nfs?
How does VDP work, you have to create a vm VDP? ditto for veeams solution? or nakivo ?
The backup is directly copy on the NAS or on the vm VDP or vm vCenter?
I would like a simple solution to automate backup and restore in case of crash. I have not yet bought the NAS (except the NAS present in Switzerland, an Assustor).
I am in the middle of the analysis phase and I am not yet mastering the concept of backup under VMWare .. I know that there is a multitude of information on the internet but I would like to have your opinions. I would not stupidly install a solution that will not be robust enough over time.
If you have good ideas (best solution, a good NAS), don't hesitate
Thanks
