Description
NovaBACKUP BE Virtual Edition now provides agent-less backup & restore of virtual machines from VMware ESXi 4.0+ along with vSphere servers.
Easy Selection of Virtual Machines
Go to the Backup tab of the software. You’ll see the VMware node and be able to expand the node. This will show you all the ESXi or vSphere servers you have configured in NovaBACKUP.
Then you can click on each ESXi or vSphere server node and see the Virtual Machines that are available to backup. Now you can select which of the virtual machines should be backed up.
Requirements
NovaBACKUP must be installed on a supported operating system.
The machine that NovaBACKUP is installed on to needs to have connectivity to either the vSphere server or the ESXi server.
NovaBACKUP can be installed on the vSphere server itself if preferred.
NovaBACKUP can be installed on a Virtual Machine also. Version 4.0 and 4.1 of ESXi and vSphere licensed with the vStorage APIs are the currently supported versions of software that the VMware plug-in for NovaBACKUP will communicate with.
In order to do incremental or differential backups the communication must go through vSphere.
The machine that has NovaBACKUP installed on it also has to have enough local disk space to temporarily hold all the Virtual Machines that will be backed up during one job.
