Copying files to and from an ESXi host
Posted on March 17th, 2009 by admin
Software company Veeam have today released v3 of their free FastSCP program which now supports coping files to and from ESXi hosts without any hacking or modification required on ESXi.
The solution is able to copy powered off virtual machines to or from a Windows machine, jobs can be scheduled if required.
On testing managed a very respectable performance of 28 MB/s from an ESXi host running SATA disk across a gigabit network, certainly faster than any other solution I’ve seen for ESXi.
For those of you looking for a backup solution for VMware Virtual Infrastructure they also do a pay solution called Veeam Backup which rivals Vizioncores backup solution.
