When will Protection Manager support volume-based SnapVault?

[dfaul1234]

I have a customer with many TBs of VMware datastores within flexvols without qtrees.  When will Protection Manager support volume-based SnapVault?  We are implementing SnapVault for long-term VM retention and could really use Protection Manager for backup management.

Any plans to tightly integrate SMVI, SnapVault, Protection Manager, System Manager etc.?  The options currently available to protect different data can be very confusing to customers.  I envision a unified/combined management solution that will integrate all the current "snap" technologies so customers have a single view of their data and protection policies.

Thanks,

Dave

Wait for the next release where, the integration of SMVI and PM is done.

Thanks for the info Adai.

We have this version.  However, I dont see how SMVI and PM are integrated in this release without using scripts?
