Restore (1:1 copy) all ESX without VMs on other machine

Hello

We use 12.0 Backup Exec For Windows Servers , and we saved the whole ESX3.5 without virtual machines using RALUS.

HOWTO (1:1 copy) to restore the entire ESX on another machine (the same material)?

Should I install first default ESX installation and try to restore using Backup Exec?

What partitions?

We would like to have the same partitions on the other server.

Hello

No idea. Never has undertaken research for her. Consider the following:

Duration of the period to restore backup? 30-60 minutes

Length of time from scratch with a good documentation and config script? 10-20 minutes

As it is very quick and easy to install just and config, I never considered the VMware ESX operating system restore. Its virtual machines you want to restore not ESX. In addition, ESX is material specific to given. You can restore to different hardware and things wouldn't work, especially virtual network configurations. It is the best practice from scratch and use a run book or script to perform configurations.

  • Copy of the Windows updates to other machines after downloading via WSUS.

    I am currently in the process of updating our domain details. It consists of 214 back-office machines and about 600 points of sale (cases). Each machine back-office has between 2 and 10 of the machines connected to it. All machines are currently under XP SP3. They all need to tinker with the latest critical and security updates. I have updated the 10 machines up to now. My problem is the time it takes for updates to download on the WSUS server.  Is there anyway I can download the updates of Windows to each machine in back-office on the site and then copy the Windows updates on all computers within that site.

    Thanks in advance.

    sniper,

  • my site is using dreamweaver cs4, I can copy all my and put them in dreamweaver cs6 without any problem?

    my site is using dreamweaver cs4, I can copy all my and put them in dreamweaver cs6 without any problem?

    The simplest way to use CS6 on a former site of CS4 on the same computer would be of...

    1. open CS4 and choose Site > Manage Sites

    2. Select the site and choose export

    3. This will create a your site settings .ste file (no site file is stored in this)

    4 close the CS4 and open CS6

    5 CS6 hit Site > Manage Sites > import to bring these parameters from the .ste file

    This will give you the same exact settings (FTP and otherwise) of CS4 in CS6 while using the same files the.

    If you use another computer together, you will need to make a copy of your local site on the new machine folder, and then export/import the .ste as above with an extra step possible Reassociation the local site on the new machine folder, if the structure/location of the file is not the same between machines.

    "Are you sure you want to copy this file without its properties?" what adaptation .jpg files to thumbdrive.

    Hello

    The USB drive is formatted in NTFS (New Technology File System) or FAT32 (File Allocation Table 32)?

    Windows stores the file on NTFS metadata using a feature called Alternate Data Streams. In other words, metadata is stored in an another 'stream' (an object file with a different identity system) as the stream that contains the file data. Since FAT32 does not support ADS, given in these alternative streams cannot be copied and will be lost if you continue copying.

    If you have all the data on the USB, then you can format the drive. If unsaved data then you must back up the data on the USB key on the hard disk of the computer, and then restore it after perform the format.

    Try formatting the USB drive to NTFS and check if the problem persists. To do this, follow these steps.

    a. Insert the key USB and go menu start, then computer.

    b. right-click on the USB key, and then click Format.

    c. under "File System", select "NTFS" and then click Start. Once the format is done, check if you can copy the files successfully.

    I hope this helps.

    I move the file from my old PC which took place with Vista on a new computer running with Win 10 where I have Windows Live Mail is installed.  When I try to copy the files from Windows Mail on Vista on a USB key I get the message "you are about to copy this file without its properties".  After studying this issue on the forums, a proposed solution was to reformat the drive in NTFS format, I did.  This does not solve the problem.  Any suggestions?  Would it be OK in this case to ignore the message and copy the file without its properties?

  • In Windows 7 when you try to copy files to an external hard drive, getting the error "are you sure you want to copy this file without its properties?

    I know there have been a few posts on this in the past, but I have a slightly different query.

    To copy files from my drive NTFS of Windows 7 64 bit for my Western Digital My Book World Edition II 2 GB player manually, not with the WD software provided), for some files, the following message appears.
    "Are you sure you want to copy this file without its properties?  The X file has properties that cannot be copied to the new location. »
    After investigation, it appears that Western Digital My Book World Edition II is not NTFS format and is, in fact, driven Linux.
    Their technical support has confirmed that, despite the message, it is safe to copy files and rely on this backup (I want to backup my drive HARD whole so I can do a clean install - so it's really important!).
    Is anyone able to advise exactly what means the message in terms of properties lost?

    If you right-click on one of the files in Windows Explorer, then select Properties, you will see the Details tab of the properties he wouldn't if the files have been copied to a drive not NTFS. They are written in an Alternate Data Stream (ADS), and the FAT format readers include ADS.

    It depends on the file type of the importance of these properties. If you have spent a lot of time, adding titles and comments and authors and authors e-mail addresses to docprops your Word documents, for example, that the work would be lost.

    If you can live with the loss of these properties, go ahead - standard properties will be re-writings in the file when you restore from backup. It's of course time and resources.

    To avoid this problem, format your external drive to use the NTFS system.

    I have data spread across 200 products and I want to copy all the data for 1 product. I tried to do it with calcscript, but the @CURRMBR function does not work.

  • I would like to copy all of the 500 + e-addresses I have blind-copied on Christmas year last wishes by e-mail, but cannot find a way to do it in a simple copy - paste

    I can hope to avoid the laborious process of the reform of the names and addresses to send wishes and would simply copy the whole address list, I got BCC'ed last year. Unfortunately, Thunderbird seems to me to go one by one. Is there a way to copy all the recipients in the BCC'ed from the greetings by e-mail last year and paste them, in one shot, into the boxes of the BCC for greeting e-cards this year?

    Generally, you use "Mailing Lists" to send an e-mail to a group of people or "Direct mail" to send an email to several people.

    A fast method would be to locate the email you sent last year. It will be probably LURKING in a "sent" folder.

    Right click on the email and choose 'change as new Message '.
    This will open a new message of Scripture with all already inserted e-mail addresses. Change the message for this year, and then click Send.

  • How can I configure mobile android password manager copy all of my passwords from firefox to my office?

    How can I configure my new mobile password manager for my android phone copy all of my passwords from firefox to my office?
    Right now, I noticed there is only about 8 passwords listed.
    But my office saved password manager has about 50 listed.
    This makes me think that the android app is to choose only to remember what I saved directly with my android. I want to capture all my saved passwords from my desktop also.
    I tried recheck my firefox sync options, but only confirmed that I don't have this game automatically synchronize all my data (including passwords.)

    I found that I have to press the 'Menu' (three horizontal lines in a square) in the mobile view and connect until I'm able to meet Firefox on Android.

    Now that you're on your desktop: try passwords uncheck in synchronization preferences, wait a few seconds, then check again. Then on your phone, the settings of the open Android app, accounts & sync, choose your Firefox Sync account, then Menu > sync now.
