data recovery VMware backup stream

Hello

I'm working on a design that will use a VDR. I guess the answer depends on how VDR will be setup but I would ask if backup/restore of data through the network during a backup/restore operation?

It's a scenario that both the virtual machine that will be saved and the VDR are located in SAN and backup repository VDR has been chosen as a second directly linked to the VDR vmdk file.

I was under the impression that the backup data will flow through the network, however I saw one of the virtual machine of the vmdk file attached to the VDR during laboratory tests (don't remember if it was the backup or restore). So if the VDR and VM is located in the SAN repository and VDR is attached to the VDR vmdk file I suspect traffic don't need to go through the network.

My hypothesis is correct?

Anyone using a separate network for backup of application VDR?

Thank you

VDR is running in mode "hot add": it takes the vmdk virtual machine (or better a snapshot of them) and then make a copy at the block level.

So if VM and destination are on SAN, then single CPU/Mem of VDR resources and SAN of e/s are used.

  • Data recovery for backup ESX4

    I already do the backup to the LUN with 'Data Recovery '. Is it possible for me to complete the data in the LUN to the tape recorder. BTW, could someone tell me what the DR uses for backup? Is - this mode of SAN or NBD?

    Is it possible for me to complete the data in the LUN to the recorder

    In its current form, no.  IF you use a vmdk for the target of the VDR, you always have to copy this vmdk in tap somehow drive... There is no way to archive data still... I'm sure that VM ware is working on this, but seeing as how VDR is always 1.0... It could be a year or two before we see this mature at this point.

    Take the name, the more sinister than the backup.  This is an archive of the reserve, not long term.

    Is - this mode of SAN or NBD?

    Both.  I found out today that if you put a VDR in a datacenter, and your VM of in a different datacenter these backups will be the network.  If VDR is unable to access the vmdk he tries to backup, you will also get a network backup.

    HE reconfigures the VM, add the disk to the VM VDR and makes local, so that the data (add min scsi) local to the machine virtual and copied via the San, because it is mounted.  He's trying SAN first, then he resorts to the network.

    So I think you need to do so that the LUNS are visible on the ESX host where the VDR, so that it can correctly 'see' the VMs for SAN backup.

  • Used to install VMware Data Recovery Plugin

    I am trying to install the Plugin data recovery VMware on one XP SP3 machine that is running the version of vSphere Client 4.0.0 build 162856.  I run the VMwareDataRecoveryPlugin.msi file and I get the message "VMware VSphere Client is required for the installation".  Course, the client is installed, but for some reason any he thinks.  Anyone else run into this?  I installed the plugin on several other PCs so I know it works.  There is something different in this case, and I can't understand that.

    What version of the plugin are you using?

  • Full VM data recovery or just snapshots?

    Hi people,

    I'm really in doubt on this subject.

    I started a job to backup with approximately 20 virtual machines, and after a while, when it finished I checked the ocupied backup size. Then I surprised because the size of the entire backup was only 64GB, and the storage space total occupied by all virtual machines is about 1 TB.


    So, how can I do a full backup vm?

    Example/Question: If I lost the entire data store where my vm running (one really disaster), I can restore my vm with data recovery (with backups stored in the other data store)?

    Kind regards

    sm4rtins.

    I don't know what help I can be, because my main experience with VDR is full of episodes of frustration. It could have been a reasonable product, but it seems to be deliberately crippled, and although version 2 is much more stable than the 1.x version (we meet only a few points of restore damaged about once a month or more, and not twice a week), it's always make us nervous.

    The only thing I would say is that we use fast SAN storage for destinations. VDR doesn't seem to be sensitive to the speed of disk I/O, and my assumption is that we get a restore point damaged when the disk i/o on the SAN is high (the SAN is shared with about 40 virtual machines and several physical servers that use for cluster storage databases). We do not have the data to back up this hypothesis (still trying to get a handle on how I'd get I/O stats to prove), but I don't see what it might be (other than the product being simply bugged, which might be the case).

    Could you move your store of destination from NFS to a fast SAN, just to see if the error rate?

  • 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!

  • Types of backup destination VMware Data Recovery

    IM test VMware Data Recovery and reading it can save to different destinations. Here's a sentence from of the Administrator's guide.

    You can store backups on network, VMDK shares, or RDM.

    The only option I see is the network share and make a folder called VMwareDataRecovery with other files and folders in it. If I backup more 1 VM to this nextwork share looks like it mixes everything together. I was under the impression that you can save in a file single vdmk.

    The only options I have under VMware Data Recovery for Destinations are Refresh, add a share of Nework, Format, Mount, Unmount, Extend and integrity check

    Remove you it from the virtual computer by means of the settings?  If so, have you selected the option to remove the virtual machine and remove the disc?  If you have them removed from the virtual computer through the settings, then you can delete browser data store.  It will come to your space.  Also, see IO errors is because you took the disk to the virtual machine without removing firstly by vDR Console's Configuration.

    That said, I would do the following:

    1. Ensure that the VM vDR does not any VMDK attached other than the VMDK root which is 5 GB in size.

    2. Open the browser of data store and make sure that the former VMDK you created have disappeared.  If not, select them and click on delete.

    3. Go to the Configuration Console for vDR and look at Destinations of backup to make sure there is nothing there.  There should be nothing in the list of destinations, if there are, remove them.

    4. After checking the above, create a new size 15GB VMDK.

    5. Restart your virtual machine of vDR

    6. Go into the Console to Setup vDR and select the disk that you created in the backup Destinations, do a right click and select format.

    7. The size should report something similar to what my screenshot of previous shows.

    I would like to know if that works for you!

    If you have found this helpful at all prices please points using the correct or useful!  Thank you!

  • VMware data recovery high CPU, all backup IDLE tasks

    Hello

    Today, I noticed that data recovery is very active, but all my backup jobs are inactive.  According to the top in the VM data recovery:

    The CPU seems busy, and all hearts across this ESXi host are fortification at 85%, with an average of 15%.  What could cause this?  I don't want just restart the virtual machine without understanding what is happening.

    I allocated 2 virtual processors and 2048 MB of mem for vDR.

    It could have been a check re-indexing, recover or integrity. If a re-indexing running backup jobs will not start. Validate through the logs of vDR.

    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.
