Explanation of Hotadd backup method?

Hi all

My goal is to make the backup of virtual machine faster since most of the

VM is in MD3000i_SAN VMFS and between the ESXi host is a direct connection

both ESXi1 and ESXi2

I would like to get clarification using VCB v1.5 update 1 ESXi

Backup VM with method - hotadd in vSphere 4 (all servers are ESXi 4)

According to: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1004358

Organizational chart: http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/7607/esxir.jpg

What I have to do the settings as follows:

  1. Windows Server 2003 x 64 Standard VM +.
    VCB framework deployed on the ESXi1 and the local Datastore SATA ESXi2, namely VCBProxy01
    and VCBProxy02

  2. VM empty created on the two ESXi1
    and ESXi2: VCBProxy01(VCB-HELPER) and VCBProxy02 VCBProxy01(VCB-HELPER).

but then I got lost in the backup selection list (see

attachment) that I couldn't choose what to select and

and in the media the value selection of where to select

as the backup directory?

No idea how to do the method of several VM hotadd

(online and offline) via command line please?

Or do I have to choose - SAN mode instead?

Kind regards

AWT,

At the same time, we can take backup of machines 8 Virtual you can group virtual machines accordingly and create batch files.

For ease of maintenance, you can batch files have either one for each virtual machine or to a batch of eight.

  • Backup methods for RDM

    I plan on P2Ving a Windows 2003 with 2 400 Go CX3-40 lun file server.

    If I join the LUNS as RDM on the virtual machine, which is the most effective method of backup?

    NPIV advantage in this scenario?

    Thank you

    If you have a RDM in virtual mode, you can use any backup method.

    And if you have SnapView license, you can also make a backup also offline if RDM is not in virtual mode.

    A good idea is have a physical machine connected to your San backup to make net-free backup.

    NPIV advantage in this scenario?

    NPIV is useful for control of the quality of service and sometimes for migration.

    But that doesn't help much for backup.

  • Off-host backup methods (like HDS ShadowImage, EMC BCVS, etc.) works in a virtual machine?

    HI Experts,

    Off-host backup methods (like HDS ShadowImage, EMC BCVS, etc.) works in a Virtual Machine (if the volume to be backed up is created on RDM)?

    This means that each such VM who have need to have backup off-host using ShadowImage have their LUNS dedicated (using RDM) and not on VMFS volumes.

    Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

    If you find this answer useful please consider giving points by checking the correct or helpful answer.

    I'm not sure it's really a 'problem '.  If you take a snapshot of the side storage (BCV, NetApp snapshot, whatever) you're after a point-in-time backup.  The fact that changes to virtual RDM will make a delta file while the snapshot of the virtual machine exists doesn't make much difference insofar as what is in the snapshot storage - except that he has invited at least FS compliant (compatible app is another debate).  You always have a snapshot of time point, and it is always the data that exist when you trigger the process.

    So, with virtual mode, you can use instant VMware (using RAS as VMware tools are installed) and get a consistent snapshot of comments-FS.

    Physical RDM mode, it's tools, usually from the storage provider, in the prompt flush/being suspended.  NetApp SnapDrive one is an example of this.  SnapDrive one uses the same win32 calls to rinse the NTFS.  You can put SnapManager for Exchange, SQL, SharePoint, in addition to this, and now you're app - are as well.

    You can make snapshots of storage of data a VMFS or NFS warehouses.  You would need a script or a tool to clean virtual machines.  There is an example of a very simple script in NetApp TR3428 (http://www.netapp.com/us/library/technical-reports/tr-3428.html), or if you actually NetApp, you can use IVMS (http://www.netapp.com/us/library/technical-reports/tr-3737.html).  These scripts don't rinse apps by themselves, but depending on the application, you can incorporate pre/post scripts in the virtual machine.

    Enjoy!

  • TM taped preparation backup after update for Sierra

    My MacBook Pro (retina, 15 inch, mid-2015) is incapable of me past the stage of "prepare the backup...". "after the update to Mac OS Sierra after 3 days. Other posts on this topic are pointing the finger at Sophos. I have disabled the software, and the system is still not able to go beyond the stage "preparation".

    I was able to save on a USB - although it took much longer that usual (I have two backup methods).

    Then, I removed the network location of the TM preferences and tried to restore again. However, the system fails in the final step of adding the network drive in the preferences. So I am only left with the ability to backup to a disk physically connected only. This is very bad and I am disappointed that Apple doesn't have a case KB already open on this.

    Problems after update to MacOS Sierra:

    1 TM fails backup backups existing network regardless (of Sophos or otherwise).

    2 TM fails to create a new backup of network location

    3 TM works with a physical backup drive connected locally.

    It has been several days after the release of MacOS Sierra: I'm waiting for Apple even recognize a situation which is detrimental to the users.

  • Backup in videos and photos as iTunes backup

    My son has a ton of pictures (and videos) on his iPhone 5s. There are currently on IOS 8.x. I want to upgrade his phone to the standard ISO 9.x. If I connect to iTunes and do a "backup", everything on the phone (including photos and video) gets backup upward? I know that when I connect my iPhone, the Photo app opens asking me to download my pictures from my phone. I know that it is a good idea as well, but if I skip that step and JUST do the iTunes backup, I know where I have to erase and restore the backup? I will answer all my photos as well?

  • Best way backup external hard drives?

    SYSTEM INFORMATION:

    HP Pavilion PU131AV / a1050y, Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.20 GHz, 2 GB RAM, Windows XP MCE, SP3 32-bit, Nvidia GeForce 6600

    CURRENT BACKUP METHOD: I have three external hard drives (200 GB, 300GB, 750GB) all connected via USB.  I use the 750Go to back up the data on my 200 and 300 GB.  Currently, I manually copy all the files from the 750 GB smaller hard drives to save them.  It's very tedious because it takes about 5 hours to copy 200 GB of data.

    QUESTION: I've never used the 'Backup Now' tool (right click on the drive / properties / tools / backup now) to back up external hard drives.  It would be a better option for me instead of manually copying files to a post of h/d to another?  Can I automate backups?  How can I retrieve the backup should I need the data backup?

    Thank you very much

    If you want to restore from a backup file, expand file, and then the file backup that you want. For example, expand Sauveg.bkf created on 02/09/2011 at 13:15 backup includes the date and time of the backup as part of the default file name.

    Select the check boxes for the folders you want to restore. If you want to be more specific in your selections, double-click the folder you want, and then select the check boxes for the files or folders you want to restore.

    In the restore from box files, use one of the following steps:

    If you want to restore the files to the location where you saved the, click original location. Use this selection when you restore the entire computer.

    If you want to restore one or more files to another location on the hard drive, click on another location. Type the location in the location box. Use this selection to prevent the restore operation to overwrite existing files on your computer.

    If you want to restore one or more files in a single folder on the hard disk, click single folder. Type the location in the location box. This selection allows to separate from the rest of the files on the hard drive the restored files or folders. On the Tools menu, click Options.

    Click the backup method to use when it restores a file that is already on the computer, and then click OK. Backup uses this selection to determine whether to replace an existing file only when it restores a file in a folder that contains the existing file. Click Start Restore.

    In the restore confirmation prompt that appears, click OK. A restore in progress dialog box appears, and the restore operation starts. When the restore process is complete, click Close. If you are prompted to restart the computer, click Yes.

    That is based on certain important assumptions that point to the fact that you should probably configure your own backups that you understand and control.

  • I bought a 500 GB external hard drive and did a full system backup. Then he told me that I need a floppy disk? After backup system restore was complete. What?

    I had a scare last week and thought that my computer crashed.  In the end, everything was fine, but I decided I had to do a full backup of the system.  Bought 500 GB external hard drive.  Full backup of the system ran through the performance Wizard mode & maint.  When finished, he gave me a saying of the warning, something like "insert a diskette to run the system restore" something like that.  Does this mean that if I have a major failure which is on the external hard drive is null and avenue?  Floppy?  What is everything?

  • How can I fix backup after go back to Windows 7 Edition Home Premium windows 10

    I have upgraded to Windows 10 but returned shortly after to Windows 7-32 bit Home Premium. I was not able to backup as usual and when I went to do the screen showed that "backup Windows only has not been implemented". When I set it up and tried backup I got error code 0 x 80041321... "the image of the task is damaged or has been tampered with." Was able to fix by applying "repairtasks.codex etc." posted on .microsoft answers by Dijji on August 14, 2015... This application allowed me to get at least in the backup (and fixed other problems back too).

    I can now do a backup only if I select "Let me choose"and uncheck the data files and the Image of the system and then check the box under computer for my C drive. I can't do a backup as previously by selecting "let Windows choose ' when I don't try this backup method I get error code 0 x 81000031" windows Backup does not have while determining the location of the libraries of one of the users included in the backup: retail; the file name, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect. "

    I always save to a hard drive Portable Samsung.

    I'm not an advanced user and would appreciate any suggestions as to how to solve this problem. I have a system repair disc and the System Image I did before moving to Windows 10 if it helps.

    Hi Philippe

    I have now solved the problem for my computer as below:

    1. click on start, then click computer

    2. right click on any of the 4 libraries IE Documents, music. pictures, videos and go down to properties

    3. click on properties and you will probably see that each library has 2 places... they looked reasonable for me

    4. at the bottom of the Panel, click RESTORE defaults, and then click APPLY and then click OK

    5. repeat the same process for each of the libraries

    6. I then ran Microsoft Fixit tool for backup

    7.I replaced then backup setting by "let Windows choose ' and ran the backup.

    Backup worked correctly, as she had always done before.

    I want to emphasize that I am not an advanced user

    Hope it could be useful that I can not imagine that restoring the default settings could do no harm.

    If you see STRANGE places in each library library it would I think be wise to investigate further before restoring the default settings

    If it works for you could mark you as answer

    Kind regards
