[BBLISA] VMware backups

[Zac Davenport]

vRanger works but it's not fun. Mainly just slow and clunky but I have also
seen it leave behind snaps as Aaron mentioned. Not a vote of confidence
here.

VEEAM has a good reputation. I really want to try it but my company is
looking at CommVault Simpana as we already use it for file-level on
physicals (and virtuals because vRanger is not good).
