+4Hi team, how much backup storage capacity will be consumed when using OnePass backup of VMware VM?
Assuming we have one VMware VM (100 GB used inclusive 30 GB MS SQL DB). When we do a VM backup with DB agent, do we backup 100 GB (onepass) only? or we backup 100 GB (VM level) + 30 GB (DB agent)? It means backup storage will consume 100 GB + extra capacity from DB backup. Which one is correct?
Thank you.

Hi Aris,
Thanks for confirming.
The application-aware backup includes the VSA backup in addition to the database backup. With this in mind, it should be 100GB + 30GB of front-end data of which will most likely be deduplicated (back-end)
+9Hi Aris,
OnePass is designed for file systems and archiving and doesn't apply to VMware-based backups.
Are you referring to AppAware backups of a VM instead?
+4Hi Jon,
Thank you for your reply. It refers to the application aware backup.
