[dba-Tech] New virtual drive

Hi all

You may decide to run your server as a virtual machine. Create a snapshot of the machine and you are done. At least with VMware.

The real power of this is, that once the snapshot has been made it can be copied to anywhere else. This means that you can have some alternative hardware and power it up with the ESXi or a host OS that supports VMware and create a virtual machine and load your snapshot. Restore your latest data backup (or move your NAS) and you are in business.
