Dear All,
We are using the Netbackup 7.6.0.1 & Our virtualization is as below:
VCenter 5.5
ESX host : 4.1.x to 5.5
Some of the VM server size 1TB to 4.5TB (All VM server disk is configured Thick provision)
And all backup are replating to Offsite (via: SLP) (Storage: iSCSI)
Currently All VM backup is configured on netbackup and created two policies in case lage size of backup. (VM Policy: Exclude data disk & MS Windows policy for disk partation (i.e E:\ d:\ etc.. )
And below 1TB all VM server is configured with "Include all disk".
Now I am planning to migrate the VM server from Thick provision to Thin Provision.
I asume that I will achive below after changes:
1) I will achive VM Storage free space.
2) Netbackup backup size & time will reduce.
3) Offsite replication time will and size will reduce.
Can you guide I am correct or not?
And Which format I am using Thick or Thin?
Regards,
