» File Library and File Jukebox relocation in DP (752KB, PDF)
The current versions of Data Protector, DP 5.5, 6.0 and 6.1, allow backup and restore in ESX VMware environments. An issue hereby is, that VMware does not support SAN attached tape libraries on the ESX Server system. Only smaller SCSI tape libraries can be directly attached to the ESX server. Therefore VMware backups to tape media in an Enterprise Backup Solution (EBS) usually go through the LAN. This is also true when Disk Staging is implemented, which means a backup is done to disk, followed by an Object Copy from disk to tape media.
