Virtualization is one of the biggest developments in IT.

Chances are, you've already deployed -- or are planning to deploy in 2010 -- this game-changing technology that promises to dramatically reduce costs, save energy and space, and improve and simplify data center operations.

However, with this wide acceptance of virtualization comes the need to backup virtual servers – and, as you know, backing up virtual servers isn't like backing up physical ones.

The Storage Decisions Virtual Seminar -- "Backing Up Virtual Machines" – focuses on the challenges of backing up and recovering virtual machines residing in a virtual infrastructure – and the various solutions that users are now using to solve those challenges.

W. Curtis Preston, world renowned backup expert, will cover the pros and cons of several backup techniques that can be used to backup any virtual machines and touches on critical topics like:

• VMWare consolidated backup (VCB)
• vSphere's replacement to VCB
• console based backup
• VM-based backup
• Point solutions for VMWare-centric environments
• Role-based administration
• And more!

Preston will address why backing up VMWare is such a challenge and share case studies of the successes your peers have had in backing it up – as well as the missteps he's seen them take.
