Reading Time: 3 minutesWhen the vSphere infrastructure is upgraded, than also the backup part needs a check (and maybe a refresh). But, in order to avoid big issue, is better check it also before the entire upgrade, just to be sure that all remain supported. I also suggest to use this as a potential review of the the entire backup policies to find how to improve them and/or how to use different solutions (not necessary different products). About the backup programs, most of them could still work with vSphere, because the vStorage APIs for Data Protection (VADP) are […]
