Copy live/locked VMDK file to other location
Hi Experts,
Hope you can help me out here. Im running ESXi 4.1 Enterprise. I have around 40 -50vms. I backup these VMs with vDR. Since I dont want to keep the local vDR backups on site I want it to be uploaded to the cloud backup.
Since my vDR VM is running during the night (out of business hours) and the Integrity Check/ Reclaiming is done during the day im not able to shutdown the VM.
Question: Is there a way for me to copy the vDR VMDK (which holds the backup data) to an another location. from the other location I will setup my cloud backup as a source.
Many Thanks

VMware
VMware, a software company founded in 1998, was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies. VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture. Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
