Pricing, backup time, network traffic, hardware, and software are key differences between Avamar and Quantum. Avamar Best for redoing the entire backup solution or starting from scratch. Client backup software is included, de-dupe on the client side, integration with VMWARE, faster backups, reduced network traffic, higher hardware cost, higher software cost if backing up large amounts of data (several TB) and has a scalability option. Quantum: Best for adding to existing backup infrastructure, client software is not included, de-dupe is on server end, backup time is limited by speed of network/servers, flexibility, and lower hardware cost.]]> http://albertech.net/2011/02/avamar-vs-quantum-backups/feed/ 0 http://albertech.net/2009/05/debian-on-vmware-installing-vmware-tools/ http://albertech.net/2009/05/debian-on-vmware-installing-vmware-tools/#comments Fri, 15 May 2009 21:54:55 +0000 admin http://albertech.net/?p=164 Why install VMWARE Tools? Improved display support with SVGA driver Cut and paste from host onto the VMWare guest Automation of guest operating system commands Sync time Shrinking disk space Startup and shutdown scripts In order to install VMWARE tools on Debian, you will need to make sure you have the package "linux-headers-[kernel version]" installed. If not, you will get a prompt during the configuration asking for the path of the C header files. To find the version of your kernel, type in: uname -a It should say something like Linux infomine 2.6.26-2-amd64 (with your current CPU architecture at the end) **** NOTE: Do this at your own risk.
