Description

The STORServer® Virtual Machine Backup (VMB) solution allows for the backup and archiving of VMware virtual machines directly to an IBM Spectrum® Protect server, whether it's within a STORServer Appliance or an existing IBM Spectrum Protect setup. Designed for ease of use, STORServer VMB can be swiftly installed and configured, requiring minimal daily management, making it an excellent choice for companies that need reliable backup for their virtual environments. This solution utilizes two backup technologies: VMB Native, developed by STORServer and used as the default option, and VMB Spectrum, which is derived from IBM Spectrum Protect for Virtual Environments, specifically designed for VMware data protection. Users can select the backup method that aligns best with their specific requirements. The architecture facilitates the direct transfer of virtual machine (VM) data to and from VMs and IBM Spectrum Protect storage pools without needing to involve ESX/ESXi servers, while the implementation of changed block tracking (CBT) significantly reduces the volume of data that needs to be transferred, enhancing efficiency. Overall, STORServer VMB provides a streamlined and effective backup solution tailored to the needs of modern virtualized environments.
