Best Practice for Y/E backup?

Post by mhutchison89 »

I'm looking to perform a one time backup of roughly 70 VM's for our business. We'll call it YE2014 for good measure, this is to meet an audit requirement. I would like to perform the backup to the same EMC Data Domain that my regular nightly backups are made to. What would be the best way of accomplishing this? I was looking at doing a backup copy job, but I don't see anyway to disable the "copy every" option. I just want this to be a one time archive backup.

Any advice is appreciated, enjoy your day :)

If you want to do a single backup of VMs to meet audit requirement, then I would recommend using VeeamZIP for that. Let me know if that helps!

It looks like that would work, but I'd like a way to be able to see the backup in the backup and replication menu so it's visible and the VM doesn't have to be manually retrieved if possible?
