#Syncsort Backup Express (BEX): Backup 2.0 for virtualized environments #vmware #esx #hyperv
Yesterday @marcelprins and I visited Amstelveen to meet Mr. Daniel Brunnert, Regional Sales Manager of Syncsort for a live demo of Backup Express BEX, a great new technology that allows not only backup of virtualized servers, but also restore! 
The beauty of this technology is the super efficient way (both speed and storage) you can back up (to tape, files, and even files, presenting themselves as tapes) while the restore part of the solution allows you to restore single files, mount live disks or even mount live virtual servers!
I’m confident we’ll hear more of this great solution. At this moment there is support for VMware ESX and the engineers at Syncsort are busy building support for (Microsoft) Hyper-V. Unfortunately Xen is not on their list.
I met Daniel at the CeBIT in Hannover, earlier this year and -accidentally- running into great stuff like this is exactly why you need to get out of the office every now and then to visit a fair or exihition
