Centrally Managed Backup to Removable Media?
We are running Acronis B&R Virtual Edition on a "management server" to backup a number of virtual servers running on ESXi 5. The management server has locally attached removable media that we would like to back up to. We have a single backup plan that contains 3 virtual servers and they back up to an unmanaged vault.
We have been encountering problems occurring when we rotate the drives - the backups fail, indicating it can't find the archive. After working with tech support, I was told that this scenario is not possible. The only way to backup to removable media is for the backup media to be local to each virtual server and the backup plan must be defined at each virtual server, which completely defeats the idea of centrally-managed backup.
So my question: how is everyone handing removable backups? I am curious how other's are implementing this strategy with the B&R Virtual Edition version.
