At the moment, we have 10 HealthShare instance servers (5 x mirrored pairs), where we implement an External Backup approach, using the freeze/thaw commands against whichever server of the pair is the backup mirror member, to complete a VM level backup. These backups are stored to a disk within our control, to purge as required. This approach allows us to deliver a zero downtime backup approach.
Our future backup solution will be storing immutable backups, with the main concern being that the 10 HealthShare instance servers are quite sizable and that our current approach of backing up the curr
