We just rolled out a two host Windows 2012 R2 Datacenter Edition Hyper-V environment. Both hosts are directly connected to a SAN via fiber.
We are looking for an affordable solution to back our environment up. In the end we probably will have less than 20 VMs and the SAN has 7.2 TB worth of space. We will most likely want to back up to USB drives until we can replicate to another site. Looking for something that will allow us to restore whole VMs and file level. Some file compression/data dedupe would be nice too.
What are people using to backup their VMs? Windows Server Backup? BackupExec 2012? Veeam? Something else?
