  Hello to all,

  Ho tried vari software di backup connection vRanger, veaam, ecc per salvare macchine virtuali presenti su UN nodo esxi tutte mi danno error in quanto necessitano di una licenza essentials at least. You have some cosa da consgliarmi?'

  Grazie in pre-empted by the response

  Ciao,.

  Tutti i free of software di backup vincolati sono da accordi con vmware e da machine try sulle vStorage API a cialis no the versioni di ESXi.

  Esiste pero Trilead (www.trilead.com) che uses ssh by estrarre I backup, quindi aggirando it block e wherever della versione without saving.

  Abbiamo usato gia con successo in some implementazioni e fa Masseria he suo lavoro, costa quanto with specie.

El tema esto are lo tengo do yo a mano, no lo puedo programar, brought instant tomar relalizar e even VM ware vSphere CLI pero por las encender a tema of license no puedo hacer nada, consultar solo if esta burning o simplemente apagada.  Buscando information meeting los backup VCB pero tiendo Québec por no usar con is you can ESXi.

  Hola

  Yo tenia el mismo problema y una pero respond there manual eligibility.

  1-. Form el .vmx the Máquina quieres hacer copia al destino

  2 - snapshot Realizas UN

  3 - form todos los ficheros instant deltas del los menos y el .vmx al destino

  4. - instant the origen Máquina el Borras.

  Puedes crear a script that is run in el esxi (a console through the unsopported) y you realice las actions... pero para mi the mejor forma fue una buena documents step by step y manualmente realize el backup.

• When you use MS 2003 storage server, backups ESXi virtual machine

  Hello

  I have a test lab that I need to put into production, but I need to get to a backup strategy before I can do that.

  I have a server ESXi (3.5 U3) frontal 5 virtual machines that all is in an ISCSI data store that is hosted using the Microsoft 2003 Storage Server platform.

  One of the virtual machines is a file and print box that has a 500GB partition in the virtual machine, but the virtual machine is located on the ISCSI LUN. What is the best way to save these data, that I can't back up just the LUN because I believe that some of the VM configuration files to sit on the front-end server ESXi?

  The nightly backup is always back up all of the LUN (2 TB) because the virtual machine file will always be 500 GB, as it is in full expansion in the file of the virtual machine, so that the incremental backups wanted to work (or will?).

  If I am running a backup script against the host of the virtual machine that comes will produce a 500 GB backup file as it comes to the size of the virtual machine?

  Any help, suggestions or comments are welcome.

  Thank you

  If the data store for ESXi is located on the iSCSI LUN, backup of the iSCSI LUN is all you need to do.  The configuration of the Virtual Machine is stored there, and VMDK files that make up the disks.  If the 500 GB of space on the file and print box is on a LUN that is separated from the iSCSI data store, then you will need to back up both the data store LUNS and the LUNS of 500 GB.  If the 500 GB is just a VMDK file on the data store, the backup data store should get everything.

• Backup configuration ESXi via PowerCLI

  Hello.

  Is it possible with PowerCLI (similar to the RCLI) to back up and restore the configuration of an ESXi host and how if possible?

  Or should we use the beast ulgy Pearl for this?

  Thanks for your help.

  Kind regards

  goppi

  Perl (esxcfg - cfgbackup.pl) both PowerCLI uses the vSphere API to deliver a configuration ESXi backup using BackupFirmwareConfiguration and RestoreFirmwareConfiguration

  Here is a PowerCLI script that seems to do the job: http://waynes-world-it.blogspot.com/2009/08/vmware-powercli-backup-esxi-40-firmware.html (have not tested personally)

• Backing up the Config of ESXi. Files

  Hello

  Is there a good method (if any) to back up the configuration of a hypervisor files automatically?  Ideally I'm looking for is a way to restore all changes "custom", I did a hypervisor in the present case, I have to rebuild a (recovery) disaster.

  You can use the script Perl esxcfg - cfgbackup.pl of the to do. Check out this post for more information on how to do the PowerCLI.

• Backup of the guests on 'free' esxi, Veeam/Storage API

  I started a new job and the company uses esxi 5 on a free key (confirmed by vmware support) and uses a 3rd party backup managed which consists of a hunger of sever running veeam. My first thought was that this is not possible due to the storage API locked on esxi when you use the "free" version However, I looked at the race of backup with the ok on the vsphere log viewer. I can't get access to the server of Veeam to check.

  Still, ive talked about Veeam and Vmware new who have confirmed my thoughts that this will not work on the 'free' version However, it seems to work... How is that possible? I missed something fundamental.

  I'm looking to replace the backup managed by our own but I am 100% I need licenses esxi for (and to a later version) to get my veeam bought to work.

  Thank you.

  The vStorage API is locked in the only hypervisor license so an instant backup wouldn't work, however, Veeam has the ability to use SSH/SCP to backup virtual machines (full copy).

• Backup of multiple virtual machines on a number of servers ESXi

  Hi all

  We have a small field of version 5. XXXX of vmware ESXi servers and using the ghettoVCB script, I have problems with some of the cronjobs does not.

  It is my belief, that it is perhaps that the script is trying to run on a new host when the other VM did not finish on a different host.

  I noticed when I tried a manual forced backups when another host was running a backup...

  # /vmfs/volumes/DanielSAN2/Backups/ghettoVCB-master/ghettoVCB.sh g /vmfs/volumes/DanielSAN2/Backups/ghettoVCB-master/ghettoVCB.conf f/vmfs/volumes/DanielSAN2/Backups/ghettoVCB-master/$(hostname-s)-l /vmfs/volumes/DanielSAN2/Backups/logs/ghettoVCB-backup.$(hostname-s).$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log-d dryrun .daily .backup

  -Ash: /vmfs/volumes/DanielSAN2/Backups/ghettoVCB-master/ghettoVCB.sh: device or resource busy

  Is it possible to run multiple instances of multiple hosts? simply create a number of script files would get around this question, or is the w switch used for this purpose? I couldn't find the example in the am, but it seems I can left only one process at a time, and I think that this is part of the problem. Any help would be appreciated...

  Thank you very much

  Nathan

  Thank you, that worked a treat!

  several scripts work very well if you have a number of backups to be performed during the night.

• Configure a backup at the request of 5.0 ESXi hosts

  Hello

  Is there anyway that I can configure a scheduled backup of 10 servers ESXi?

  Please suggest.

  Thank you

  Mihir

  Mihir salvation,

  Years ago I was also thinking around how to manage the ESX (i) to return once crashing.

  I could circle in all directions, but I come to the end that "try to save some configs" > theire is of single Point of failure.

  -Get 100% of all the files that are needed to get the config back once that crashing

  -At a Major relase change > perhaps this dependend files modification or extension

  -Restore/backup Configs, maybe causing a kind of instability...

  -Don't know if Vmware supports 100% backup and restore config

  In any case, my own Solution follows.

  Instead of save config and trying to restore > I kill 2 flies with 1 slap.

  -Fast food (but of the mind, this is a new installation and pushing scripts,...)

  -Update of the process. (New installation with the new Build number)

  I use the PXE boot solution.

  The server is much more stable.

  What I did:

  -R2 Windows 2012 with IIS + WDS

  -With the help of 2 actions

  1 x for WDS

  1 x for IIS

  IIS part = 1: Hostcfgs (Kickstart files for each host)

  2: Patch (placed the last update file)

  3: scripts (host, ntp file, the advanced settings, file exchanges,...)

  WDS share = deployment share of default windows where I place the iso extract binaries and files menu pxelinux.cfg,...

  Then at all. Once I have a strange problem. I push things kickstart and have following

  -More information freshly installed with all THE Configs as before

  And once that a new major Relase is out > it is easy to integrate to PXE.

  If you have only one initially effort and you need keep the patches (or by creating every time a new Source).

  PS: Remember, you must be sure that the system is Stable. And with a sort of backup/restore > you never 100% could be sure that this is the case. Because you know a lot of theire ID of the object in the background...  With this kind of Solution, I could be sure that I covered everything 100%.

  "vicfg-cfgbackup" is a good idea >, but never I would rely on it completely.

  Just Feedback to think in the other direction.

• POS for ESXI backup

  Hello

  I'm under two-node esxi cluster. Run 10 vm in total with a capacity ranging from 300 GB to 750 GB.

  Got a box of SIN and the thought of attaching the backup of the virtual machine on that storage. Can configure it like NFS or CIFS only.

  Few questions;

  1 would like to know that means the limit of .5TB, 1 TB or 2 TB in POS devices?

  2 Does .5TB are limit for CIFS, 1 TB to 2 TB on VMFS or NFS store? This means destination anywhere where I'm going to keep backup of virtual machine?

  3. as the size of the VM/s total in my case is about 3 TB and 4 TB does that mean I can't backup all my vm with a camera or made with 2 device?

  4 FAQ tell a device by ESXI that means I limit of 2 devices in 2 host cluster?

  Breg,

  Sushil

  1. While EGGS installation where should I have to install it? He the dedupe destination stores say 3.02 TB as above and it may be any little other than dedupe store LUNS.

  It should be deployed in the vCenter (vCenter where VMS to protect). You can always start with a provisioning end if you do not 3.02 TB of space.

  See this article from blog for a rapid deployment & configuration - http://onevirtual.wordpress.com/2013/11/15/vdpvsphere-data-protection-5-5-deploy-configure-quick-start/

  2. in case if it is other than the store of de-duplication how will it will be added to the egg apparatus.

  You have the option of choosing several data stores all in configuration - the article above should cover this information too.

  3. as NAS deduplication box will be present on the production network and will be accessible via the network of production only. Does have any performance issues?

  Check if you can take advantage of adding hot instead of backup on network.

• Best practices for backup of vCenter device and ESXi hosts?

  Hello

  I have a new VMware environment based on 5.5 ESXi and vCenter Server Appliance. A few questions:

  • What is the best practice to perform the backup of the vCenter Server Appliance? I set up the camera with the embedded SQL Express database.
  • It's recommended to backup the ESXi host or is it easier to any re - install failure?

  Best regards

  Hello

  You can use VMware VDP to backup your device of vCenter. It is included in essentials, standard, enterprise, and enterprise as well as licenses.

  I won't have backups of ESXi servers. Restore the backup would take more time that the deployment of a new ESXi.Only thing, you may want to consider is to enable logging remotely, so you can see why the hosts failed.

• The new Cluster of 5.5 ESXi backup solution.

  All,

  We have built a new Cluster on ESXi 5.5 with 2 servers DL380 G8 (hosts) and a HP Storevirtual 4330 connected via iSCSI to SAN storage. ISCSI all have 4 cards attached to an iSCSI network 1 GB Switch.

  The HP Storevirtual 4330 has 7 TB of space but will be 1-1, 5 to virtual machines and the data on it. processors Xeon 2 x 16 and 256 GB of RAM in each host.

  There are 10 VMs (2008 R2) server on the cluster.

  I also have a G8 DL360 with 5 TB of space on it and an autoloader CF HP 1/8 (I need to make the weekly and monthly strips for compliance requirements).

  I have 4 additional network adapters in the present to connect to the iscsi san network if it is an advantage.

  All my previous backups were backups on tape, but will have to be different.

  I was wondering what is the best solution for me compared to

  What types of backups are best (instant storevirtual, POS or software (Backup Exec and VEEAM are my options)

  Where to store data backups (SAN or a space on the backup win2008 server)

  What kind of backup gives less impact on the performance of the SAN, hosts or VMS running.

  Deduplication is assistance in the management of space, if so what should it be set up.

  If you use StoreVirtual as the underlying storage, no doubt, then take a look at Veeam that deeply integrates the device said, allowing you to use SAN snapshots during the backup process. This, in turn, considerably improves iterator and reduces the impact of the activities of backup from the production environment.

  Apart from him, you can install VB & R on the above mentioned physical server and connect the device to tape it. This deployment will allow you to archive the backup data in the midrange of tape on any basis you want, using special adhesive tape work.

  See you soon.

• Support ESXi 5.0 host FC connected tape drives in the virtual machine running symantec backup exec 2012

  Dear Experts,

  We recently purchased C0H19A: StoreEver HP 1/8 G2 6 - LTO Ultrium 6250 CF TapeAutoloader. The purpose is to backup of VMS data, I mean selected data in virtual machines, as for the exchange of data bases email for server accounts database SQL server etc.. We have a full VM backup plan, so using symantec backup exec software.

  We have this configuration:

  -TWO DL 380 Gen8 servers (running UPDATE2 Esxi 5.0), both servers have not all SCSI ports

  -One SINGLE HP P2000 G2 MSA FC Dual Cntrl storage

  -TWO HP SN6000 12 - pt Windows Pwr FC switch

  -HP ADF

  All them above are related to the CF. Symantec backup exec 2012 is also installed on Windows 2008 R2, which is a virtual machine.

  But now, we are unable to see the tape library autoloader through the virtualization layer in the device of machine Manager virtual backup exec. Reading on internet, I also found some details that connected FC tape drives are not supported by the Esxi hosts. We are really stuck in this situation, all the solutions to this. I also read the article from vmware saying configuration for Esxi 4.0 FC tape drives and later versions

  Installation of a physical server windows with Backup Exec 2012 and HBA and connected to above switches FC is the only way to see the ADF? Even after reading articles on the internet, I'm not clear, please guide what solution I have now to get this thing going, I really need to find solution to this.

  Waiting for answers.

  Kind regards

  Hello, I'm a Backup Exec support engineer and yes the method supported is only by connecting the tape drive to a server of physical media.

• ESXi 5.0 5.0 Update 2 - best practices / backup plan

  I intend to patch my ESX cluster (2 5.0 ESXi hosts) 5.0 Update 2. Although there is no active DRS (HA only), the idea is to vmotion virtual machine from one server to another, leaving one of them every time with no VM, put it on maintenance mode and to clean up the update (already staged).

  Since all data storage are located on a Dell MD3000 DAS, that backup precautions can I take to reduce the possibility of failure? I am already back up the configuration of host for two hosts using PowerCLI, then is it necessary to back up also all virtual machines inside the DAS? If so, save only the VMDK is the way to go, or should I use a specific as vDR, Veem or similar tool? Snapshots are a secure replacement?

  The reason why I've been confused was the mention of 'DAS', which is usually refers to the storage not shared, but from what you write, I guess it's more like the storage attached to two hosts directly rather than using a network switch.

  In any case, according to the applications running in the comments, and if a backup agent is needed, an image based backup (for example, Veeam, vRanger connection,...) can usually be restored more easily and more quickly.

• Backup errors with backup of thin provisioned disks on ESXi 5.1

  Hello

  I try to set up a backup solution for two servers in ESXi 5.1. (free version).

  I have installed and configured the ghettoVCB successfully and everything seems to be ok.

  However, when I start to create a backup, the process would end with an error :-(

  It didn't matter if the server is enabled or disabled, I get the same result.

  All data warehouses are local, 2 x free WD500GB with plenty of space.

  There is no snapshot, anything that could (in my eyes) prevent a good backup.

  The server works perfectly, when turned on.

  I'd appreciate any useful comment. Thanks in advance! The log is attached.

  This is not correct.  Depending on your position, you've got to 66%, until he ended with an error.

  I have the same problem. In my case, I make a virtual disk full and mount it with Server 2003 for project a NFS volume.  I use GhettoVCB, as you do.  It uses the standard vkmfstools in the script to make the clone/backup.  I have proven that the problem also occurs when you use the command line vkmfstools.  GhettoVCB has the bad habit of you cache the error code.  The error code is he ran out of disk space, which we both did not happen.  Once the problem occurs, the only way I could fix is to delete the virtual disk and start over, however, the problem will come back.  The problem didn't surface until what I moved to ESXi 4.0 5.1 on the servers.  Through this process, the hardware off the VMS version did not change, nor dare, because I may need to take 5.1 and back to 4.x.
