VMware Data Recovery
VMware Data Recovery provides you with a centralised data backup and recovery system that provides complete data protection for your environment. Unlike traditional backup products which use tape as their medium, Data Recovery takes snapshots of the virtual machines and uses de-duplication technology to efficiently store them on disk. This means if you have to recover a server, it is back at the touch of a button.
