Hi do you have any documentation as to how to best backup servers running from starwind?
In our environment we have a number of servers, all booting from IBvolumes using emboot.
Currently we are using NTBackup on each of the servers to backup system state, onto a dedicated backup server with it's own disks. (This procedure goes back to before we went with StarWind)
I have always suspected this is negates a big reason for the SAN approach in the first place.
Would a more sensible (and complete) approach be to just copy all our *.ibv* files onto our backup server?
Or is it better to use the new replication/mirroring facilities to mirror onto the backup server? If mirroring is the option a step-by-step dummy's guide would really help me!
Kind regards
Simon
