• Best-efforts recovery
is sufficient
• Granular restores
Protection and Recovery Considerations:
• Backup: client or off-host
• Storage: direct-attached or SAN/NAS
• Protection: data or VM + data
• Location: static or “mobile” VMs
• Recovery: VM, files, application, all
• DR: local or remote recovery
• Vaulting: replication or tape shipping
