hi, i am seeking advise on this one. i have a machine with 24 GB so i was planning to install Vista 64bit and nothing on it but Vmware workstation 6.5 Vista Image, that ill be installed on a RAM Disk i will make on the main Vista.
now in this way the whole Vmware Image will be in RAM so i will install VS 2008 in it and put all my sites there as if it was a real disk, now i have made few tests on running Applications from RAM Disk and the performance was blazing, but i have some concerns.
- how i can make continuous backups, because as you know it is a RAM Disk and once the PC is restarted Everything is Gone and i will loose everything, VS, SQL DBs, and my sites.
-as long as my Main Host Vista will not have anything Installed is leaving 8 GB of Ram for it is enough ?
- as you know the VMware Image is one file, so should i Defrag the Host Drive or the Drive inside the VMware Image ?
thanks in Advanced.
