Good afternoon all,
I am a newer guy in this field trying to figure things out. With the HP DL360e server I have access to in order to create a new backup system, all I have are 4 large-volume hard drives. Because of this, windows cannot be installed on that system since there is a 2TB limit on what can be used as a master boot record. I am trying to explore other options, and so far I’ve found that the performance decrease when trying to run the backup system through a virtual machine.
2 questions:
Would I still see this performance decrease running Linux through an onboard SD card or flash drive?
If the speed is fine, is there a good Linux backup software that can connect to and backup an ESXi host/virtual machines on said host?
