  Depende... If usas CIFS, Sera vidéoconférence compartida than compartas... The compartes Cuando y lo mapeas al VDR, you genera una vidéoconférence VMWAREDATARECOVERY.

  If lo haces por NFS, copiate el disco del VDR (*.vmdk) language. In case of disaster, seria crear a VDR nuevo y mapear el hard del Quebec a hecho copia.

• ESXi 4.1 + VMware Data Recovery 1.2 (without vCenter)

  Hello

  I installed VMware Data Recovery 1.2 on my ESXi 4.1 and when I connect to VMware Data Recovery I get the message "connected to the ESX Server, automatic backups will not be made.

  This means that scheduled backups only work if I receive vCenter? I without vCenter run backups manually?

  That is right. vDR is configured to discover your VM inventory via vCenter. The vDR is designed to provide a central interface for your VM backup/restore via vCenter.  The cool thing about this is that vDR keep track of your virtual machines if you transfer them via vMotion, HA, DRS, etc. But, Yes, you NEED vCenter.

• vCenter / Vsphere 4.0 data recovery

  I have to do a small infrastructure:

  n.2 vmware ESX vsphere 4.0

  n.1 iSCSI storage

  n.1 vcenter server.

  Can I use entire vmware vcenter server data recovery? I have an another iscsi storage to make backups.

  Best regards.

  Yes, vCenter vSphere 4.0 is required for vDR and will be necessary. Take a look at the comparison table of different editions: http://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere/buy/editions_comparison.html

  Most resembles the way forward or you can use advanced or higher if you need more features.

  You can also buy the vDR separately as a la carte in question, take a look at how to buy for vDR: http://www.vmware.com/products/data-recovery/buy.html

• vCenter data recovery - is it upgrade for VCB

  Hello

  I wonder if vCenter data recovery is an upgrade for existing ESX enterprise clients using VCB, or it is a new product which must be purchased?

  any ideas?

  VMware data recovery is intended as a product recovery and backup of disk to disk for virtual machines.

  The product is included in some editions of vSphere and downloadable and add-on for some of the other (for example standard).

  hope that helps,

• VMware Data Recovery 2 in a vCenter Server

  Hi all

  I need a base backup of VMS backup solution. I know that each camera VDR is bounded to vCenter server, you might not use vcenter several with one camera VDR. But in a sense the opposite? I use several VDR devices with a vCenter server? I know about the limits of the VDR and probably I can achieve limit of 2 TB and only solution in this case use another camera VDR, but I don't know if it is possible to use more than a VDR with a vCenter.

  You can use up to 10 of VDR with a VirtualCenter.

  Look at the "VMware Data Recovery Administration Guide" on page 16:

  Special data recovery Compatibility Considerations:

  Ten aircraft recovery backup of data for each instance of vCenter server.

• data recovery on a virtual esx server running on workstation7

  Hi friends,

  I'm trying to configure vmware Data Recovery. I use the esx4 and vsphere that both are running on the virtual machine Desktop 7.

  Everything was fine until the power of the virtual device section vmware Data recovery.

  When I am trying to turn on the virtual device of DR, it gives a problem of compatibility with the host (virtual esx) cpu.

  I'll soon post the error.

  Help, please.

  Kind regards

  Arumon

  As far as I know, this device is 64-bit based - so it does not work in a nested VM

  chiazynloo,

  Build numbers seem to be off - unlike the version numbers correct for Beta 2 or RC build recovery of data and vCenter Server 4.0 RC respectively.  Where did you got these bits?

• Data recovery backup job fails with error-3902

  Version of the device - 1.2.0.1131

  Data store - cifs datastore - 489 gb

  Number of backup VMS - 26

  Average size vm - 25 GB

  Question I get is "unable to create snaptshot for vmnamehere, error-3902 (file error)."

  I tried ping all the esx host, which works very well, as well as vcenter host, very much so.  I put the esx hosts and vcenter host in/etc/hosts file too.

  I restarted the vdr unit that works very well.

  I can take snapshots of the virtual machines manually as well.

  Backups have worked on those virtual machines in the past and just stopped all of a sudden.

  Integrity controls work.

  What else can I try?

  If money is not a problem I suggest go for vRanger veeam backup or connection of quest. It removes all the headaches I have with data recovery.

• Available in the company VMware data recovery?

  I'm trying to figure if VMware Data Recovery is available with the Enterprise license.

  If you see that the page VDR says that it is only available in Enterprise Plus, advanced and Essentials Plus Edition.

  http://www.VMware.com/products/data-recovery/

  But if you check that page compare shows THAT VDR is available in Advanced and Enterprise.

  http://www.VMware.com/products/vSphere/buy/editions_comparison.html

  Brennan-

  Data recovery is available for download from vSphere ESX(I) and vCenter Server downloads.  Download of data recovery will include a device to the OVF format, a vCenter plug-in and a restoration of file system component.  There is a simple installation guide, but basically, install the vCenter Plugin on your client computer, import the OVF, Plugin allows you to configure the device of data recovery.

  Let me know if you get stuck - I can give you advice a little more if you have a specific problem.

• Data recovery restore VMWare DR site

  We have a VMWare (Enterprise) of production environment I want backup several miles on a fiber attached DR site.  We run VMWare Data Recovery in the production environment, backup through the fiber on an EMC on the site of DR. My goal is to have a mirror of our production environment on the DR site where we can manually restore our VMS disaster.

  My question is - can I run say 'VMWare Essentials Plus' on the site of DR who understands "VMWare Data Recovery" and attach it to the backups of the production environment so I can restore backups of production on the DR site failure?  Is that how 'VMWare Data Recovery' works or can I only restore the original environment?

  To be able to restore the backup of the original ESX, you must have (in the DR site) a clone of the vCenter Server, cause, you must 'see' the ESX in the VDR plugin.

  But VDR plugin can also run on vSphere client connected to a single ESX, you can at least restore to another ESX.

  Are there problems?

  The big problem is what happen if you lose your data integrity VDR... can you lose all the restoration? Not a good scenario.

  So I suggest to have at least a second level of backup (perhaps only a month) in a "simple" format converter (for example) can handle. VCB or a simple export with Convert (or a clone of vCenter) could be a simple solution.

  Do not forget that there is also the solution of replication, both at the level of SAN (usually very explensive) and the virtual machine (for example, Veeam Backup or Vizioncore vReplicator) level.

• A cluster of vCenter will share a single data store on a NAS?

  I have a vCenter 3 ESX host cluster. I want that these 3 hosts to share a single data store on a NAS (Dell Powervault md36xxi).

  
  

  The goal is that if one of the hosts go down, the other two still have access to the unique shared data store on the NAS.

  So far, I've been able to create a separate data store for each host on my NAS.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  Since we normally have a 1:1 mapping between LUNS and data store, if the three hosts share the same LUN, then they will also share the data store even... just the map the LUN to all three hosts, using the vCenter create a store of data with vmfs format and three guests will share the data store. If after having create the data store on the hosts of the first, if other hosts do not see yet the store data, just try to rescan the host for new storage devices and data warehouses.

• Data recovery is running indefinitivly

  Hello

  running VMWare Vcenter 5.0.

  When you enter data store manager Equallogic under VSphere client (V5.0), on the left column, the name of my Vcenter, and normally, under the present it seems the cluster, then the data store; but it only shows "data recovery" and not going anymore.

  So I run VSphere Client from another PC, and it worked because the same problem occur.

  What's wrong?

  Thank you to.

  Kind regards.
