VMware vSphere, during its history and the different versions, has got several types of Graphical User Interface (GUI) client. One of the most used (not the first, but the standard one since Virtual Infrastructure 3.0) was the vSphere […]

Reading Time: 3 minutesVMware vSphere provides a different way to copy the VM data during a backup operation: those modes are called transport modes. There are at least three major transport mode: network mode (or NBD), hot-add mode (or VM proxy mode), SAN mode (of storage offload mode). Most of the backup products can use those different transport modes depending on the configured infrastructure and the requirements.
