Frane Borozan over at physical2virtual.backup created process for backing-up physical servers into virtual machines using VMware converter and VMware server. The whole process is described on the www.p2vbackup.com website. This process only uses free tools and scripts written by Frane. VMware importer will be used for importing data into virtual machines, and VMware server will be used for managing data imported into virtual machines.
I asked Frane why he created the website ?" I created the website to help system administrators implementing backup and disaster system because backup is a very important segment of every network infrastructure. As our bosses always want the best and the most cheap solution the only way to do this right is to choose virtualization and virtual servers for backup cause in the start they are giving us big savings in one way or another.
