We are upgrading our vSphere environment to 5.1 and are moving away from NetApp volume based backups to Hitachi NetBackup based backups. Our vendor is asking us to enable VMware CBT and I wanted get some opinions on enabling this. I've done some research and CBT seems to be problematic and the time savings CBT saves on backups doesn't sound that beneficial if you have to deal with problematic CBT issues. Can anyone chime in and let me know if they recommend CBT for NetBackup and what their experiences have been?
Thanks in advance for the input.
