I. Case Summary
Regardless of what kind of service in the enterprise backup is a very important part, of course, vSphere virtualization is no exception. This case study describes vsPHERE core components --vsPHERE Data Protection.
Second, the case of pre-knowledge
1. What is the OVF template
OVF template is an open, public, secure virtual machine compression format commonly used is an extension template named .ova, but there is actually no difference. OVF template can operate at multiple major virtualization platforms.
2. What is vSphere Data Protection
vSphere Data Protection referred to as VDP, EMC and Vmware is through technology collaboration launched next-generation disk-based backup and recovery solutions, reliable and easy to deploy, replace the VDR before and VCB; fully integrated with vCenter Server, can be used to backup job execution efficient centralized management, while through the upper eliminate duplicate data of the target stored in the backup storage.
vSphere Data Protection有两个版本，分别是VDP和VDP Advanced，它们之间的区别是，每台应用装置VDP Advanced最多支持400台虚拟机和8TB的存储空间，普通的VDP仅支持最多100台虚拟机和2TB的存储空间，并且VDP Advanced还支持应用程序级复制、在Microsoft Server上能够恢复到粒度级别和针对SQL Server、Exchange Server和SharePoint Server进行来宾级备份和恢复等。特别需要注意的是，VDP Advanced是需要进行许可才能使用的。Third, the implementation of case
