Hello all,
currently we use Veeam to backup our VM's.We are exploring to move away from Veeam as we really do not want to be using Windows (we use Linux and the only Windows server we have in our team is for Veeam)
Few years ago we looked at Snapcenter but there were couple of requirements that we missed compared to Veeam.
1, vCenter requirement.
- How do you restore vCenter if Snapcenter requires vCenter and can not target ESXi host directly for the restore ?
In Veeam, we have 2 ESXi hosts "hard coded" in addition to our vCenter in case vCenter is unavailable and we need to restore it (obviously for regular VM backup/restore we use vCenter)
2, Does Snapcenter allow for 2 destinations ?
- With Veeam we backup our VM's to two repositories that are on two independent Netapp NFS volumes with two different retention policies. Is this possible in Snapcenter ?
Thanks for all your feedback.
(over the last year, we started using "infrastructure-as-code" so there are very few VMs we are actually getting backed up and Veeam Windows requirement is a hindrance for us)
