We recently upgdared to netbackup 7.6. However we have not enalbed vmware accelerator or VMware plugin. I am keen to get this in place as we are a 90% virtual business . Has anyone tried this and can you see improvement on backup speed and restores ..
Also direction to installing procedures would be great
Thnanks all

I have not played with the plugin yet....but I started using vmware accelerator about 3 weeks ago.
Keep in-mind that accelerator for vmware will only give you FULL backups. I did not realize this and my diffs that I duplicate to tape were fulls.
I now have a seperate policy that does the accelerated vm backups just to my MSDP. The accelerated vm backups are very quick since they use CBT from vmware.

Have played with the plugin under the 7.6 Betas, it is a little gnarly to set up, but gives you some more options in the VI Client interface, think you will like it when being 90% virtual business
