Hi
I took over a ESX cluster that was using VDR as the backup tool.
Each VDR VM has 2 data stores 1 local and 1 remote DC
There are 2 VDR's one in the data center and 1 in the Office.
The remote datastore is at at 3rd Datacentre.
I have yet to get 2 weeks of backups running with out there being some issue, some sort of corruption in the remote data store. (and some but not as many on the local datastore).
I am finding it very annoying and very un reliable
What are the alternatives.... I like being able to store stuff local for quick restores and I must have offsite backups. And I reall really like the dedup facility . I just hate the fragile nature of VDR....
