Backup vmProtect virtual appliance is needed?

Thread needs solution

Hi all,

Here's my scenario...

I have 2 ESXi 5.0 Server with local datastore, 1 SAN (production+backup), 1 NAS (backup).
I had installed the vmprotect virtual appliance to ESXi2 Server.

If ESXi02 down, how can I repidly resume the backup service? Is it necessary to backup or replicate the virtual appliance to my ESXi01 and how to do it? Thanks!

Cheers,

Felix

why install on the esxi02 local disks? why not on the san and use the NFS or iscsi to start or vmotion the appliance from the san when the other esxi02 is down or goes into maintenance? Do you have the backup disks locally attached to the acronis VM?

Also i know you can "install" the appliance without having licenses activated as long as you do not run any backups from the esxi01.
and if the backups are on the NAS and you can access the backups then you can recover and access files from the appliances that is standby

and if the data disks are on the NAS/backup, does it support NFS or iscsi? then i would simply run the appliance from there.
and then you can access the appliance from esxi02 and if it goes down you simply strat it on the esxi01
