Hello,<br />
<br />
I have a EqualLogic PS6000XV, and I am using vSphere 5.0.<br />
<br />
I have installed the plugins into vCenter and I can now manage the EQL through the vSphere client.<br />
<br />
I would like to make backups of my VMs/VMDKs or the EQL volumes outside my main EQL storage.<br />
<br />
My question is, what do you guys recommend to copy this data ? I see that the EQL has a replication feature, but it only support another EQL. I dont have another EQL to get this data replicated.<br />
<br />
My goal here would be to make a full weekly backup and a differential daily backups, or something like that.<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

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.
