Backup a Vault only with virtual server tools

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I want to know if anyone has an advice about backup a vault only with virtual server's tools like Veeam backup. 

We're torn between making a standard ADMS backup and perform increment VMWare backup. 

And, does anyone know the position of Autodesk about it?

I know it's a grey zone but many other SQL base use this way of doing things. 

Thank for your answers.

Thank's for the answer. 

So backing up with a virtual server tool isn't a good idea and it's much better to use a SQL tool to do it? 

Cheers.

The goal of the whitepaper is to give you the information needed to use any tool to perform a Backup or Restore.  It is recommended that the tool you decide to use, you perform tests to verify that it is backing up and restoring properly.
