How to backup the scaleio virtual machines without connected storage
Looking for possibility to backup only core of scale io machines, without connected storage. Tried to use Acronis VMProtect, but it began to backup whole machine, include connected disks. Any ideas?
Thanks

I would like to have regular backup copy (or replica) of scaleio machines just in case.
I am using Acronis VMprotect (or Veam, not important) for backup of virtual machines.
Let say that to each MDM server connected 4 TB (1TB x 4 HDD) for storage.
I tried to run backup of first MDM server to external 1TB storage and got warning that virtual machine size is bigger than target storage size. It means that the backup software detects connected disks as part of virtual machines, and trying to backup whole 4TB, instead just 8GB of MDM linux main HDD.
So - my question is what your recommendations regarding scaleio virtual servers backup.
Thanks

Looks like this is more a question for your backup software than ScaleIO. Your backup software should have the option to backup only one VMDK from the VM
