johnyfork Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I am application developer and don't know much about virtual machine(VM). however, our application is resided on a VM. frequent patch need be apply to fix/update this application. For diaster recovery, It was suggest to backup every thing on the server. so, once server is restored, no application need be re-installed and configured. our network administrator thinks it can be done by cloning VM. but if we want to backup the clone to a tape. it would expose VM to backup drive. any one who can access to it can erase the VM and every thing would be gone. it is very risky. I would appreciate it if you could let me what you think on this or any suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Official Moderator Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Hi @johnyfork The idea of cloning, replicating, or backing up the VM is correct in this case. You can keep the clone and do not share the media with other Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with, and we will get back to you. We are looking forward to hearing from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
