The ONLY scalable and completely fault tolerant backup, restoration and disaster recovery solution for Virtual Infrastructure 3. Whether you have 1TB of data or 50TB, esXpress makes a 100% complete backup of your entire virtual farm every night. VBAs are simply the fastest and most secure way to backup your virtual machines without affecting console resources or VM availability. VBAs are simply tiny virtual machines that backup virtual machines. Unlike dedicated hardware solutions, VBAs are cost effective, and scale with your environment. And because of their distributed nature, VBAs are completely fault tolerant, very low impact, and yet yield incredibly fast speeds.
Overall great buy for the price. But not a lot of bells and whistles to support retention policies. Great add to an existing Windows backup infrastructure.
"Also Encryption not availabe in latest version. When it is available it will come at the cost of tweaking the ESX kernel with a RedHat Encryption .RPM"
esXpress v3.1 contains encryption and no RPM for gnu-gpg needs to be installed on the host (like the version 2 of esXpress required)
Thanks for the good words.
