• backups system state backups vs vm

  Hello

  There are a lot of practical documentation on system state backups, but what's the point of system state backups, if you are running backups of virtual machine using the vstorage api.  I know that for the AD, a backup of the system state is better that one vm, backup, but other than that, has no useless system state backup is a backup of virtual machine (I was going to say redundant).

  I am trying to develop a strategy for which use.  My preference is to make backups of VMS (no file level) and use sparingly system state backups.  Do both adds to planning of backup with more, that there is less tolerance for a backup window and more an expectation of off-host backups.

  For a domain controller you need to make backups of system state. Without them, you may lose AD. According to the recommendations of Microsoft at least twice a day.

  This isn't a very good statement. As always, 'it depends' - depends on your image-level backup solution. With Veeam, you have not had do this - unless you want to have redundancy on the backup of the same data twice.

  However, with the image at the level of backup solutions which are not multi-application and do not treat virtual computers running some applications in a special way on the backup and restore, you certainly to do that. Otherwise, in case of DC for example, you will end up with a USN restoration on the restoration, and it will screw up your ad.

  In addition, just to cover some other points above:

  If you try to restore a DC from backup of image based (i.e. a backup to the current no AD) in a multi domain controller environment, you will almost certainly encounter problems of replication synchronization after restoring as the AD database was restored in a way not supported.

  That's right, unless you use the image-level such as Veeam backup solution, which performs backups multi-application and – most importantly – multi-application restorations.

  Also, image based backups not serve to an Exchange Server transaction logs, so it will continue to grow until a backup of the information store.

  It is also an accurate statement of many image-level backup solutions. Most of them do not at all cut the Exchange transaction logs. Some will be plum them immediately to the creation of the snapshot (before the backup is completed successfully) - which is actually worse than not not their pruning at all - because you find yourself without reliable backup and logs are gone too. And only a few image-level backup solutions (for example, Veeam) will do it properly, pruning Exchange connects after successful only backup.

  I would definitely test any solution backup abundantly in the test environment with applications, before making decisions on the backup strategy. There are too many marketing of nowadays. Many image-level backup providers tend to make a big deal of features without importance and features of the product, while being silent to not have more basic, core features that are expected of any backup solution - as above - correctly handles backup and restore applications.

  I hope this helps. Warning, I work for Veeam.

• Backup system state data

  I want the XP Home System State backup as the data I plan on the rationalization of the registry and of course need the backup in the case where I live.

  Microsoft has a backup program on the XP home CD.

  Toshiba has a recovery disk so I don't have the CD.

  I don't think I needed the backup program that I have another backup program, but I was wrong. To back up the system state data, my backup program requires that I have copy their help:

  To back up the locking system files under Windows NT4, 2000 and XP systems dfg backup XP uses components of NT backup, which is part of the operating system. In Windows XP Home Edition that the NT backup is not installed by default, so you must install it manually. The NT backup is located on the Windows XP CD in the \VALUEADD\MSFT\NTBACKUP directory. If you need to restore files in the System State, you will need to use the NT backup after you have it extracted from Zip archive.

  So it seems the only way to save the complete registry and the boot files is to install Microsoft backup program.

  It's on the the recovery Toshiba Satellite 2450 this disc anyone know? It is not the disk tools.

  I can't find anything on a backup program listed here.

  Appreciate any help.

  Hi TW,.

  Check if you have a "VALUEADD" folder installed on your HARD drive. Some OEM installations actually install to the hard drive. You should find the Microsoft Backup utility in there.

• Z1 HP workstation: C: drive system image backup internal solid state

  My professional job to Z1 HP with Windows 7 has 370 GB used space on the C: drive and 146 GB free.

  I want to copy / clone a 'System Image backup"from my internal C: drive to an external hard drive.

  I heard that the combination "backup system image" in Windows and target disk Western Digital "WD My Passport Ultra' may be problematic.

  Does anyone have experience with this and y at - there a better alternative?

  Hello

  Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

  Personally, I have not heard of specific issues with this WD HARD drive. I Googled it and found some non-specific stuff.

  However, to answer your question: in my view, there is no problem with the 1 TB external harddrive to adapt the SSD from below 500 GB. Therefore larger than GB 463, less than 500 GB, 1 TB, it should fit without problems. There is no problem for cloning SSD and HARD drive imaging (the only problem is that it might be a bit slower, but no problem to do so).

  • Data recovery backups fail to advance at the beginning of the task

  In the course of the incremental backup of a virtual machine, data recovery would not make progress and the backup appliance afficheraient 100% of the CPU. This situation persisted until the reboot of the device. Even after restarting the device backup, no progress was made on the incremental backup. It was the result of using the information about the last backup backup to create a new backup.

• Free virtualization software takes supported Windows 7 as operating system host and Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system?

  People,

  Hello. I need to install the Windows 7 host virtualization software, and then install Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system.

  VMware Workstation supports Windows 7 as operating system host and Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system, but it's not free download.

  People know that supports virtualization software free Windows 7 as operating system host and Windows Server 2003 as the operating system invited?

  Thanks in advance.

  As I said in your previous post, VMWare Player is a free download and does not support Win7 as host and Win2k3 as a guest.  VMWare Player is also included with VMWare Workstation, you can imply that most of the time something that supports VMWare Workstation as a guest operating system is also a guests supported for the reader.

  And unlike previous versions, player 3 includes the ability to create virtual machines base.  For many people, especially those who are starting just in virtualization, player is sufficient.

  VMWare Workstation, although not free, can be installed as a 30 day trial.  After the trial, you can not start your virtual machines in my computer, but because the player is included in the installation, you can still run your virtual machines in the drive without having to uninstall anything.  So just install Workstation.  After the trial expires, if you wish that the advanced features of the workstation, then buy it.  If not, just continue to use the drive.

• What support VMware Windows 7 as a guest host and Windows Server 2003 as the operating system operating system?

  People,

  Hello.

  Because my laptop is preinstalled Windows 7 and cannot dual boot multiple operating systems. I need to install VMware in Windows 7 host and then install Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system.

  I installed VMware Server 2.0.2 in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003 operating system as a guest host. Everything works fine for a while. But VMware Server Home Page https://mylaptop:8333 / IU cannot display more.

  I found that Windows 7 is not a host for VMware Server 2 and strange operating system might happen at any time. I found that 'VMware Player 3' is fully supported in Windows 7 as host operating system but is not taken in charge of Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system.

  People knows what product VMware Windows 7 support as host operating system and Windows Server 2003 as the operating system prompted?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  IMHO, I think that Workstation is the vmware product just for you, the requirements

  It supports Windows 7 as a facilitator and Windows 2003 as a host with no problems. You can be confident about it at 100%.

  Best wishes / Saludos.

• Resize Partition Windows Server 2003 comments operating system operating system

  Hello

  I need to improve some of my Windows Server 2003 VMS to 2008 to take advantage of some new features, but due to constraints of size of drive when these 2003 VMs were created, they have very small OS partitions.  I can resize the disk located in the partition, but I wonder how can I resize the partition so that I'll have enough free space to upgrade in-place to Windows Server 2008.

  I don't know there is a clever trick to do this with VMWare...

  Thank you in advance.

  I also found using VMware Converter is the best solution and simpler if you have space just clone with great drive and connected with this or remove the old servers and it always works great.

  If you found this information useful, please consider awarding points to 'Correct' or 'useful '. Thank you!!!
