I haven't seen much activity regarding ghettoVCBg2 vs ghettoVCB.
Is ghettoVCBg2 viable? We have a VMware Essentials license and are looking for an inexpensive way to backup our VMs. (Currently still using 4.1, but have the 5 upgrade.)
I've played around with Trilead and others but seem to get the same performance from most things I've tried, including ghettoVCB.
Seems that ghettoVCBg2 still works for ESXi 4.1 - 5.1. Are there any benifits to using it?
Our backup storage will most likely just be an old 2 CPU Dell with a gigabit connection using NFS or iSCSI on OpenFiler/FreeNAS or Windows with Starwind's iSCSI target. (Strange thing: ghettoVCB is slower backing up to a second local storage drive than via the network.)
May have a limited budget for hardware/software.
Thanks,
Pat
