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.
Good luck!

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.

vSphere includes VMware Data Recovery... correct?
I was looking at the VMware data recovery product and it is pretty cool... until I saw that you had to buy it. Then I saw this:
"VMware Data Recovery is included in vSphere Enterprise Plus, advancedand Essentials Plus editions"
But we have 'Enterprise '. So I can't imagine you advanced include this product, but Enterprise does not work? Are not undertaken a step upwards to advanced? Then shouldn't company not also understand this? According to me, it's a bit unfair - but I hope it's just a bad impression.

You are right in saying that the company includes Data Recovery. Go to the link below for comparisons of editing:

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 10:24:14: 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.

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.

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.

Programming Interface to call VMWare Data Recovery
Hello
I wonder if there is no out-of-box API call VMWare Data Recovery. In other words, if there is a way to simulate all the operations that we could do to vSphere, creating a backup task, by selecting several virtual machines, etc., go to run in a period of time, either programmatically or by command line.
Thank you.
Lei
as far as I know, no such API exists for vDR.

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.

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.

Erro ao connect no VMware data recovery

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.

Hello
I give a try to VMware Data Recovery. So I installed the plugin on my XP SP3 computer.
But since then, everytime I lauch VI client to step «Discover plugins...» ', it asks me to choose a debugger (with a unique choice of Microsoft Script Editor) and I must decline 10 times before it will work eventually. VMware support told me to install or reinstall my computer, but I'd rather have it run without a reinstall.
Someone at - it an idea on how to solve this problem?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
PJ: the window first, and what I get, if I click on 'Yes' (yes).

I got a solution for this, and it works with me;

Click on Advanced tab
Under performance, click settings
Click the data execution prevention tab

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.

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.

An upgrade of potential of VMware Data Recovery from 1.2.x to 2.0 x? I looked through the VDR documentation and there is no section on the upgrade.
