			<description><![CDATA[Our shop still pretends we're in the Matrix. We use TSM and each VM node gets a TSM client installed. This approach standardizes backup and recovery procedures and doesn't present any performance issues. The newer hardware provides more horsepower and more vm nodes than we want to risk on one server. In fact, we moved away from large servers that can support 100 or more medium duty VMs to blade servers simply to reduce the impact of host failure. The 5570 dual socket quad core blades hum along at idle with 50 nodes. In addition to other heavy duty blade servers we have three VM hosts in each chassis (150 nodes) and still do not have performance issues. This approach combined with VMotion and SAN replication provides bullet proof business continuity.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Most people pretend they're in the Matrix and put backup client software in their VMs. It's not optimal but it works for many folks. I'd say 10% or so are doing Vranger, Veeam, or ESXpress.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[May I ask how everyone else is backing up virtual machine images? Is the other 95% using vranger pro, some other 3rd party app, or is everyone loading clients on their vm's and backing them up the old fashioned way over the lan? Is everyone backing up the whole machine or just doing file level backups? I tried using vcb and I'm through with it. Thanks, Pat]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It is definitely a real challenge for many people. The more you've done VMware, the more of a challenge this is. But VCB definitely caused as many problems as it solved.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Curtis, Sounds like VCB was solving a problem that no one needed to be solved, or that caused more problems than it fixed. With the nearly non-existent pickup rate for VCB, looks like the "big boys" are taking their time with supporting the new vSphere APIs. The third question you need to ask is "Will you use the new API in vSphere?" That's the one the Backup Software Vendors will actually care about.]]></description>
