How to make backups without vSphere/vCenter

We are one of the companies at low prices that only use ESX, cannot get them to buy me vSphere/vCenter again.

Not much, we have only 8 physical hosts, so I can manage it with the vSphere Client a host at a time.

Is there a smart way to make level vm backups in my situation?  I can export OVFs manually, or copy the files from the virtual machine to a store in offline mode, but these two need to cull the virtual machine. (you cannot copy or move a machine virtual everything in its place)

Is there a way (with vCLI or powerCLI) to maybe make a snapshot, move the snapshot offline, and then delete the original... or something like that?

I'm really just looking for a smart way to make level vm backups that don't require bringning to the bottom of the virtual machine, and that perhaps I could automate with a script so its more of a real-time continuous data protection.

Already did you look in the scripts of lamw ghettoVCB?

  • How to make videos without interruption for which wach?

    Hi all

    I take a small problem and did not find research F1, manuals and in google, but I guess this question is a little easier, maybe so much as I cannot find an answer.

    My question is simple: how to make videos in captivity nonstop adobe who wach? I made some videos, but I don't really know why sometimes I need press the play button again and this causes me problems, especially because sometimes is a lot of times.

    I just strange why sometimes I need to press play again each slide, and sometimes need press more than once in the same drag the play button to continue the Adobe animation in captivity.

    Thanks for any help

    Hi again

    If you have buttons or click on the boxes, you will need to modify them to remove the break. Otherwise they take a break.

    I'm still a bit ambiguous on the desires of the button. I'm sorry.

    I will meditate on it and see if it will make sense in a little... Rick

  • How to make a basic vSphere Audit

    Someone at - it a list of things to check or a guide as to what should I check by making my own internal audit of an environment vSphere for purposes of security check?

    Hello

    The closest set of tools for your needs are VMware (packages of plugins and stand-alone vCM, also look for something to be demoed at the RSA Conference this year), HyTrust, mocking. There are stand-alone tools that will give you the security audit of your virtual environment by William Lam (but limited), myself (but used by my office) and a few others. It's actually a quite difficult problem to solve.

    vSphere when it comes to PCI, HIPAA is not your only concern, you need to worry about networking, virtual machines, storage, segmentation, etc.. The best thing I can suggest is first define your scope of VMs and determine what affects directly and indirectly. Compliance is all about the scope of the audit. Nobody checks the whole environment for PCI, but a part of it, for example. Otherwise, you would need to audit the entire data center as it is all usually linked together somehow. How to limit the scope? Separating workloads PCI and HIPAA mutually or by limiting the management systems or other devices PCI and HIPAA Systems PCI and HIPAA.

    Thank you.

    If you kept the default ports, then they need to do:

    80, 443, 902 (UDP), 8080 and 8443.

  • How to make changes to existing configurations without quisceing

    Hi gurus B2B.

    How to make changes to existing configurations without quisceing and deployment of retirement?

    Its a production server, my project went live, a few weeks before. After two weeks my ISP asked me to change the delimiter setting of * to,.
    I then to the deployment, Quisced tab, retired, purge the existing configurations, and then I did the changes, approved the agreement and TP and recreated the (config) deployment even once, it happened successfully, but WE are unable to see the old transactions.

    Could someone help me how to make any changes without purging,

    If we simply pull out, wiothout purge, it shows error that name already exists.

    Concerning
    Suni

    Hi Suni,

    In B2B of Oracle 10g, it is mandatory. You must transfer the configuration (after quisceing and retirement) each time you make any change in the configuration.

    but WE are unable to see the old transactions.

    Once an old configuration gets served, messages related to it would not be included in the report, but they must exist in the DB tables. You can take an export (from the console) to the existing messages each time before you purge the old configuration to keep a backup copy of copy paper.

    If we simply pull out, wiothout purge, it shows error that name already exists.

    Two configurations with the same name cannot co-exist, and whence this error.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite M115-S3094: how to make a partition without reformatting the HARD drive?

    Hello

    recently bought a laptop Toshiba M115 comes with 80 GB ' SATA drive and XP MEDIA CENTER 2002

    (1) how do I partition without reformatting the drive.

    (2) even if the laptop came with a pre-installed xp. I was wondering what happens if I want to reinstall xp media center, if and when required. Y at - it a disc that I can order (I have the license)... What options of backup kindo f are at - it?

    first time with toshiba... so am new at the mercy of the workings...

    DMM

    Hello

    1.), I use the Partitions Magic 8 to create partitions on the HARD drive.
    This application is very nice and I love it all simply ;)
    You can change the size of the partitions, status and you can fully manage the partitions on the HARD disk. And the best thing is you do not need to format anything B-)

    2.) well, the computer Toshiba laptop are delivered also with the recovery CD. I think that all manufacturers of laptops offers this CD of restoration with own products.
    In any case, on this CD, you'll find Tosh preinstalled operating system drivers.
    If you want to install other OS (XP MCE) you can do it, but you should check if there are drivers that are needed for this OS. But I have XP drivers should also work with thin MCE.

    Hello

    I think that it s a good idea to make a backup on your laptop.

    You have created the Toshiba recovery disks? When you bought a Toshiba laptop, you must create these disks. If you have a virus or something else with these discs, you can get the factory settings on your laptop.

    You can create discs with the Toshiba recovery disc creator and if you didn t again, you get the following message:

    > Important INFORMATION
    >
    > your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need to repair
    > your computer in the restaurant to original factory State, you can do it directly
    > drive hard (press F8 when you start your computer, choose "Repair your computer"
    (> and follow the instructions in the menu) or create a media drive bootable recovery for this purpose.
    >
    > Toshiba recommends you create recovery disk medium uses the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator' to ensure the
    > Hat you are able to restore your computer to the State of origin, installed at the factory, even if your computer
    > is seriously damaged

    So create one and if you need, you can get factory settings with Windows, drivers and tools in minutes.

    If you want to make a backup of your laptop with all the software that was installed by you, you must use programs such as Acronis True Image backup.

  • How to make the backup of the system on the HP XP computer?

    my friend says that she is positive that it is built in a way on a HP computer to back up your system... y at - it a such thing as a backup system? I don't mean the system restore, I mean backup; to back up files etc.; or I have to use the one I have to pay for?
    * original title - is built in a way on a HP computer to make a backup of the system? *

    Yes and no.
    Yes, because Windows XP comes with a "NTBackup" program that will back up your system.
    No, because this program is not installed by default on a Windows XP Home System.

    On an XP Pro system, you follow these steps to start the backup program:
    Start-> programs-> Accessories-> system-> backup tools

    On a XP Home system:

  • How to make a backup copy of my Sansa Fuze 2 GB

    Hello! Can someone tell me how to make a backup copy of my Sansa Fuze 2 GB. I'm going to replace because the wheel is not working properly and I ask (the agent on the Technical Support) on all my music that I have on my MP3 and they tell me to make a copy, but whenever I downloaded on Windows Media Player, I can listen to, but as soon as I disconnect my MP3, I can't play anymore. Can someone help me please, I don't want to lose all my music. Or as a matter of fact again downloaded (too many site to visit again)

    You can manually copy your music from the device to the computer using Windows Explorer, often referred to as 'My Computer' or just 'computer' in different versions of Windows by drag-and-drop, or open the Windows Media Player and "copy of the device" after clicking on the tab sync.

    It is also possible to copy works by using an application like Media Monkey too.

    Many people confused if the Sansa was initially loaded using never WiMP, many are realizing that the application works in both directions.

    Remember, it is important to always have a backup of your music!  It will save you grief!
