i've been using GhettoVCB to backup VMDKs, it works... usually. It has some serious drawbacks: the package isn't signed so you cannot easily install it or keep ESX updated with it installed. Installing it by hand is easy enough, but you have to enable SSH or the console to do so and finally there is no management console for it so you have to have your PFY keep up with the emails it spits out to ensure that everything is working. on the other hand its free and it works... usually :) On Mon, Dec 7, 2015 at 10:35 AM, Raymond Norton <admin at lctn.org> wrote: > I'm getting pricing for Veeam to back up our VMWare hosts, but would like to > avoid the licensing costs.
