Has there been any updates to this in Avamar 5 SP3? We don't want to use independent disks and would like to only backup a single virtual drive within the Virtual Machine.

We are using Avamar 5.0 SP3 and there is still no option to exclude specific drives.
The only way is still to use independent disks.

Hi
we would like this option too. It seems it will be available in Avamar 6, at the beginning of 2011...

Christophe

Hi Christophe
From where do you have this information? Is there any kind of roadmap for Avamar 6 available?
Best regards,

From EMC guys and EMC's project manager. We are implementing Avamar and this functionnality is present inside the product we have to replace, so we are requesting it.
Wait and see..

Just a short update.
We upgraded to Avamar 6.0.0-529 and it is still not possible to exclude single drives from a VMware image level backup without configuring it to independent persistent on the VMware side.
Too bad that this is not possible.

Thanks Christophe
I created (another) enhancement request.. hopefully they compare Avamar with other products and see that this should be state of the art..

Hi
Yes they told us that it 's possible in Avamar 5 when we bought it, and after they said to wait for Avamar6, and finally, at the last second, they said "oups, no, sorry, probably in 6.1 at the end of 2011"
Too funny... [irony mode off]
Sorry for you.
