• VM data recovery - delete older backups

  Hello

  If I go into the VM data recovery > restoration I can see to test the backups that I did a few weeks ago, how do I remove the?

  I see the backups have a red cross next to them, as I tried to delete last week and he said that they have been marked for deletion, but they are still there.

  Any ideas on how to remove them?

  Here is a screenshot, I can not just delete these old backups:

  

  Thank you

  Click the Configuration tab, click Destinations. Now you will see your destination data store (s). Click on the Destination (in this case /SCSI.0:1/), click on the integrity check. Answering the question 'Would you like to perform a manual check now?' with YES.

  There is a KB article for this:

• Installation location of data recovery

  This seems to be a stupid question, but data recovery software VMWare (not the device component) is supposed to be installed on the VCenter server or a host computer that you use to connect to VCenter with the VSphere client?  I guess that's the VCenter server, but I keep seeing people talk about using data without VCenter recovery so it looks that it can be installed on a client that connects to the VCenter server via the VSphere client.

  Thank you... Rich.

  Hello

  Yes, it's a client plugin that can be installed on any machine where you make the VI client sessions to your server host or vCenter.

• VMWare Data Recovery does not properly

  Hello

  I use VMWare (VDR 2.0 - with Vsphere 5) data recovery tool. I'm tempted to save a virtual machine and the VDR said the backup was successful. But I can't restore the virtual computer. When I checked the log, I found that the vmdk is not saved.

  26/07/2012 10:22:31: normal backup using Backup1
  26/07/2012 10:23:18: created snapshot '_datarecovery_ '.

  26/07/2012 10:23:19: independent labels 'vm-153. "[datastore1] vm1/vm1.vmdk ' is not saved
  26/07/2012 10:24:13: deleted snapshot '_datarecovery_ '.

  26/07/2012 10:24:14: duration: 00:01:43 (00:00:48 idle/load/preparation)

  I use the default backup device provided with the VDR. (Cent OS 5.5). I backup virtual machines on a NFS mounted in this machine (VDR) centos.

  Can someone help me understand the problem? any help would be appreciated.

  Newspapers say it all: "26/07/2012 10:23:19: independent labels 'vm-153." "" [datastore1] vm1/vm1.vmdk "unsaved."

  This VMDK is configured as independent VMDK, independently discs are "made not snapshot ' type of drives and because of this VDR will not back up these disks.

  First of all you need to know why this drive is configured as apolitical, apolitical fashion isn't really necessary then stop VM and remove "Apolitical" mode option of this hard drive in the hardware configuration of the VM.

• 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!

  While I can't give you a solution, I can share that I had a similar problem with an SRM installation.  Like yours, mine was a working facility which, for some strange reason, began to exhibit the same symptoms.  Start the service, in a second or two, stopped service.

  I opened a ticket with VMware on the issue and in more than three months of back and fourth Exchange with various Tech support I have ever received a satisfactory answer on what caused it.  The 'solution' they gave me was to remove the database SQL RS and re - install SRM.  This 'solution' has worked, but if this question comes up, I'll probably have to back unpleasant, emphasizing the fact that they solve the problem.

  I wish I could be more help, but that's it.  I feel your pain.

• 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.

• 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.

  http://www.VMware.com/products/vSphere/buy/editions_comparison.html

  Brennan-

  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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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

  According to VMware Data Recovery requirements

  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.
