  3. B2.0: Simply Better Data Protection

  4. ESX Network backups Direct to target To Backup Repository vCenter vRanger Pro 4.2 Mmgt Connection vRanger Pro uses the SC connection for Network transport backups Nic 0 ESX Host Compressed Service Console Storage Connections (Ethernet or FC)

  5. vStorage API for data protection ESXi Network backups To Backup Repository vCenter vRanger Pro 4.2 Compressed Uncompressed Mmgt Connection vStorage API uses this connection for Network transport backups ESXi Host Nic 0 Storage Connections (Ethernet or FC)

  11. Architectural Choices

  12. Requirements for LAN free backups • vRanger Pro 4.2 installed on a physical proxy server • One proxy per set of VMFS luns • VMFS luns zoned so vRanger Pro can see and read them • VCB application is no longer used • Works with ESX 3.0.2 - ESX 4 (vSphere) • ESX 4 hosts require minimum “Essentials” license to use the vStorage API. • DISABLE AUTOMOUNT!!!! DO NOT WRITE DISK SIGNATURES!!!
