Data backup on Dell EMC storage?
Hi folks,
I hope you are doing well. I have one question regarding data backup. At this time we are using Dell EMC VNXe1600 storage on which we are running VMware virtual machines.
We are planning to do a backup of user profiles and user data from client machines, there are 98 machines.
Can we backup data directly on Dell EMC VNXe1600?
Second options is to buy another storage for data backup.
What are you recommending to me?
Thank you

I guess you didn't understand me, or I don't understand you :)
A few months ago IT team installed two Dell servers + Dell EMC storage. Dell Servers are running VMware vSphere and storing VMs on Dell Storage. Today, a company wants to upgrade IT infrastructure and one of the tasks is to do a backup of user profiles of physical client machines (Windows 10).
Question is: Can we add more disks to Dell EMC and backup user profiles to Dell EMC Storage or we need to buy additional storage and backup data?

In the best of worlds you should have 2 storage devices in a clustered storage volume with redundant paths from any compute node to any storage node. and also between each storage node. and between each compute node.
Personally I'd not be backing up just the user profiles but the entire vm's
