backup vmware vmdk files?
Has anyone ever tried using a ReadyNAS to store their vmware (.vmdk) files, and then using the ReadyNas vault to back those up? If so, does it do block-level backup? (ie, you have a 2 GB .vmdk ...
I'm always looking for ways to increase performance with my VM's so if you are planning to run the VM from the NAS I would say don't do it, Don't think it would run well. Try running one from a share on another server.
If you did run your VM's from the NAS I highly doubt the NAS is performing Block-level backup. If you wanted to backup large files It would overwrite the old file.
