Hi
I have read the post; 'SharePoint farm Backup/Restore with VMware Snapshots'
And i am thinking,
Firstly an SQL server takes full backup once a day +sql transaction log every 2 hours.
To ensure onself of being safe, could it be possible to do the following:
1) Turn Off all SharePoint VM (2 Frontend webservers and 1 Application server)
2) Take snapshots of the VM's, then turn them on again.
3) Do the update/solution deployment.....
If SharePoint Farm fails (Disaster recovery), then do the following:
4) Turn off VM's. Restore SQL databases using the 'newest' SQL transaction log that was recorded before 'update/solution'.
5) Revert VM's to the snapshot taken in 2).
6) Turn on VM
When talking about the VMs I am only talkin about the 3 SharePoint VM's.
Will this work? Will there still be a sync. problem?
