Cannot restore of VMWare Data Recovery device

• Available in the company VMware data recovery?

  I'm trying to figure if VMware Data Recovery is available with the Enterprise license.

  If you see that the page VDR says that it is only available in Enterprise Plus, advanced and Essentials Plus Edition.

  http://www.VMware.com/products/data-recovery/

  But if you check that page compare shows THAT VDR is available in Advanced and Enterprise.

  Data recovery is available for download from vSphere ESX(I) and vCenter Server downloads.  Download of data recovery will include a device to the OVF format, a vCenter plug-in and a restoration of file system component.  There is a simple installation guide, but basically, install the vCenter Plugin on your client computer, import the OVF, Plugin allows you to configure the device of data recovery.

  Let me know if you get stuck - I can give you advice a little more if you have a specific problem.

• VmWare data recovery and work with independent labels

  I read on a forum: If you want to drive the snapshot of the virtual machine is not affected, in its properties, select the "independent". Moreover, if the virtual computer is 'Independent' disks, the snapshot cannot be included in his memory.

  There was a question if the readers to all virtual machines 'Independent', would work "VmWare Data recovery?

  I'm not sure about my discoveries. SO please don't take this as a solution to your problem. My conclusions are:

  When you start to take a vDR of backing up a virtual computer that is configured with an independent record, it will not be successful. As vDR is used to take a snapshot in order to perform the backup of a virtual computer. If the capture is here, Independent disks prevents taking snapshot.

• How many vmware data recovery machines possible?

  Hello

  is it possible to use more than one computer of vmware data recovery? I need because the vmdr is limited to two destinations and I need one more backup on a USB key.

  Greetings

  Gregor

  According to VMware Data Recovery requirements

  Ten aircraft of backup data recovery for each instance of vCenter Server

  However. I don't think that storage device USB is supported as a store of deduplication.

• VMware Data Recovery 2 in a vCenter Server

  Hi all

  I need a base backup of VMS backup solution. I know that each camera VDR is bounded to vCenter server, you might not use vcenter several with one camera VDR. But in a sense the opposite? I use several VDR devices with a vCenter server? I know about the limits of the VDR and probably I can achieve limit of 2 TB and only solution in this case use another camera VDR, but I don't know if it is possible to use more than a VDR with a vCenter.

  You can use up to 10 of VDR with a VirtualCenter.

  Look at the "VMware Data Recovery Administration Guide" on page 16:

  Special data recovery Compatibility Considerations:

  Ten aircraft recovery backup of data for each instance of vCenter server.

• Backup the VMware Data Recovery backupstorage?

  Hello

  Anyone who does backupstorage VMware data recovery backups to tape is?

  We back up several virtual machines on a NAS via CIFS. I don't know why someone would be the backup to a vmdk if they have a single SAN. This would mean that your backup are on the same storage as virtual servers, you backupped.

  VMware Data Recovery can keep track of the story according to your configuration. But if the NAS goes down, then you lose the history. My suggestion is to backup all the backupstorage on tape, but I wonder if it works. Do you need to take it apart if you are sure, that there is no dedup or optimization of processes running? A restore work? I want to say VMware Data Recovery will accept this 'old' storage and you only give access to the files? Because when you look at the backup storage, you'll see the files that don't resemble the original virtual machine.

  Thanks in advance for your comments!

• ESXi 4.1 + VMware Data Recovery 1.2 (without vCenter)

  Hello

  I installed VMware Data Recovery 1.2 on my ESXi 4.1 and when I connect to VMware Data Recovery I get the message "connected to the ESX Server, automatic backups will not be made.

  This means that scheduled backups only work if I receive vCenter? I without vCenter run backups manually?

  That is right. vDR is configured to discover your VM inventory via vCenter. The vDR is designed to provide a central interface for your VM backup/restore via vCenter.  The cool thing about this is that vDR keep track of your virtual machines if you transfer them via vMotion, HA, DRS, etc. But, Yes, you NEED vCenter.

• Deduplication before vSphere VMware data recovery 4

  Hi people,

  I decided to give a try to the Vmware Data Recovery product. I have recently updated our 3.5 ESX to vSphere 4. I installed the plugin for recovering data and the device, and I think that it does not work as it is supposed to, but I have a question.

  I read the documentation about the product to recover data and on page 8 of the admin guide, there is a note on the optimizations not applied to virtual machines created with vmware vSphere products 4.

  I vmotioned my machines windows and upgarded their vmware tools and equipment of 7 virtual machine. I was wondering these machines were created with ESX 3.5 and now that I've migrated to vSphere 4, doesn't that mean that deduplication will not take place with data recovery products when I'm in my data store backup? or am I misunderstanding this?

  Thank you.

  Hello and welcome to the forums.

  Once you upgrade older VMS v4 to v7 hardware virtual machine, then they are the same.  Discover the answer of amina in this discussion.

• VM VMware Data Recovery and save after pRDM vdisks

  Hello

  We will use VMware Data Recovery. A virtual machine will be some vdisks that will be mapped and pRDM. I know that vSphere can't save pRDM. What I would like to know is if VM with pRDM can be saved by the device of data recovery.

  So, can I add VM who pRDM unit of data recovery. Vdisks (and associated data) that are no pRDM don't rely on VMware Data Recovery?

  Thank you!

  Hello.

  See KB 1015488.

• Backup integration with VMware Data Recovery (VDR) tape - how to guide

  Hi all

  It's just something I've had a lot of people ask me about this.

  FWIW, I used your great white paper today, Peter, with a lot of success in testing applications third VDR.  Discovered VDR is actually much faster and easier to work, especially for the backup of NAS devices.  Thx for the link!

• Warning of VMware data recovery and remote monitoring

  Hi all

  Anyone know if it is possible to monitor the warnin and messages of alarm vmware data recovery?

  For example "integrity check" fails, or "the incomplete backup job.

  I didn t find something about this in the user guide.

  MFG

  Andreas

  It's a shame, but there is no way to configure VDR (1.0.2) to send alarms.

  You might want to script that runs on the device (grep for "failed" so something like that).

  Kind regards

• Erro ao connect no VMware data recovery

  OLA amigos,

  O could finalmente instalar VMware Data Recovery software.

  Acessei o mesmo do vSphere Client through. Very, quando indico o IP da VM only pretendo fazer o backup ele me retorna uma erro msg:

  "Error: could not connect to"192.168.0.1"(operacao nao permitida em soquetes disconnected).

  Please make sure that the device of data recovery is enabled.

  Will that preciso configurar but any coisa? EU instalei only um installation data Recovey na minha maquina. Instalar algo HAVE not ESX?

  Obrigado a todos

  Não perca tempo tentando debug o as it happened com o CentOS. Baixe o novo virtual appliance (sair acaba o version 1.0.2 fixes some bugs) e veja's works of cara. SE nao funcionar, abra um chamado no suporte da VMware.

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.  The first thing I would suggest running a virus scan.  Make sure you have no virus causing problems.  If you do not have an antivirus program, then you can download it free here: http://www.microsoft.com/Security_essentials/

  If there is no virus or it still does not work after virus cleaning, then start in safe mode and test from there.  Here are the instructions for Safe Mode.

• Differences between POS and Vmware data recovery

  Hi, I wonder if vSphere5.1 has changed the name of recovering data vmware VMware Data Protection (WTP).

  I found that the download link illustrates the Vmware data recovery before vSphere5.0 and Vmware data protection after vSphere5.1.

  I think the same goes for Vmware recvoery data POS, but I want to confirm here.

  Hello

  You can find more information here: https://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/products/vsphere/VMware-vSphere-Data-Protection-Product-FAQ.pdf

  Replace protection data of vSphere VMware Data Recovery?

  Yes. vSphere Data Protection replaces the legacy VMware

  In vSphere data recovery function. vSphere Data Protection

  provides equivalent to VMware Data Recovery scalability with

  a stronger and more effective backup engine.

• Understand planning for VMWare Data Recovery

  Hello

  Under VSphere 4.1.0 with vmware data recovery, through Assistant I generated a planned not here are the features in the attached screenshots backup task.

  I came back the next day, I saw that the backups are done at 8 in the evening (20: 00), but no time, it is written in Wizard I see slots... so where can I see the task of recording time son? and/or what are these slots in the end?

  

  Thanks in advance

  Hey North Carolina,

  It is precisely one of the problems of VDR: you don't master's degrees not starting backup time! You define time slots during which the backup can take place. Then, the VDR system decides alone when launch the backups. The only thing you're on, it's that no backup takes place during the time slot prohibited (in grey in interface).

  Good luck.
