Overview of Transparent Snapshots Data Mover
Transparent Snapshots Data Mover (TSDM) is a protection mechanism designed to replace the VMware vSphere Storage API(s) - Data Protection (VADP) protection mechanism for crash-consistent virtual machine protection and Microsoft SQL Server application-aware protection.
The advantages of using the TSDM protection mechanism for virtual machine data protection include the following:
- Eliminates the latency and performance impact on the production virtual machine during the protection policy life cycle.
- Reduces the CPU, storage, and memory consumption required for backups. After the initial full backup, only incremental backups using the immediate previous snapshot will be performed.
- An external VM Direct Engine is not required. The VM Direct Engine embedded with PowerProtect Data Manager is sufficient.
- Automatic scaling.
