I'm new to virtualization and have a Dell T320 running ESXI 5.1.0 w/4 drives (RAID 1 - two sets) There are two VM's running, one is a server 2008 R2 running Exchange the other is another Serve r2008 R2 to run an app for the business.
All seems good then I thought, wait a second all of this on one machine? Not good. No back ups? Even worse!
This was set up by a consultant before I started work at this job and have no clue as to setting up a back up.
1) Can I back up the host configuration?
2) Can I back up the VM's?
3) Is there a one solution that can do it all provided all data is store on this machine? ( I know this isn't Fantasyland but a guy can wish for it)
My concern is a realistic back up solution to a hardware failure.
