Backup from Snapshot vs normal VM snapshot with CBT
Hello
I have the following question to the community:
What is the best way to bring the VM data to a msdp pool if the VMs reside on a storage array and it is connected to the ESX servers using nfs?
I have 2 options:
1. Do a snapshot on the primary storage using snapshot manager and replicate the snapshot to a second array and do a backup from snapshot to a msdp pool.
2. Use the normal VMware policy in Netbackup and use the CBT feature.
What would you suggest? In my opinion the normal VMware policy with CBT is faster then the backup from snapshot option.
