best backup program to use for nfs datastores

hi all,

just want your opinion on whats the best backup program to use for backing up to nfs datastores

i know Vmkfstools is out the question as this is only for local datastores

i really dont mind using rsync, i have heard its slow but if it does the job then hey...

thanks,
rob

Re: best backup program to use for nfs datastores

Hi rob,

as we are talking about the vmware world: a nfs datastore is mounted to the host system and then it is looking and handled like any other local datastore.
So you could use Vmkfstools, but the best backup program is: XSIBackup !!
