VDR, VDP, VCB - demystifying the Backup Options
Hello world
I am currently evaluate the backup options for our field of VMware, and delve into the options causes some headaches.
Little background information - about 10 hosts ESX 4.1, VCenter Server 4.1, 100 + VM, Fibre Channel SAN storage.
I found the following:
VMware Data Recovery - as far as I know, this was replaced by the VMware Data Protection?
VMware data protection - similar to VMWare Data Recovery in terms of technology and operation.
VMware Consolidated backup - after reading several contradictory articles, I'm fighting to see where it is. Some people say it VCB don't * actually * save anything.
So, I think that the base on my environment and the version of vCenter and ESX, my first choice will be:
VMware data protection
Veeam
Can someone give a brief summary of the differences with the three designated products and how they fit into a backup strategy virtualized it please?
Thank you
David
VCB is an ancient technology of the pre-vsphere 4.0 era, now replaced by vStorage API. Essentially, each backup, including the VDR, POS or Veeam software, rely on this technology.
Another thing to keep in mind: you have a 4.1 cluster, you cannot use POS, if you do not upgrade to vSphere 5.1. 4.1, you can only use the VDR.
About Veeam, is 3rd party product shopping, it is not included in the beams of VMware. Apart from this, in my view, there still many advantages even on the POS again. To name a few:
-no backup repository size limit
-orchestration between compiling deployment
-recovery instant vm
-surebackup
You can take a look at what these features to the site Web of Veeam.

I'm signed in., even responds to security issues, and has been verified. Any ideas how to start back up without the back up option now?
In settings, click iCloud, and then select backup. Backup is located just below the portfolio and above keychain. ICloud backup lights up and after it starts you will be have the backup now option.

Re-enable the backup automated in iCloud
To save the size, I deleted a backup of my camera. From:
iCloud: delete a backup device iOS to iCloud
If you delete your backup for your iOS device, iCloud will stop automatically backup of the device.
Instead of backup of your iCloud iOS device, you can back up your device via iTunes.
I can manually save to iCloud, but how to re-enable automatic backups to iCloud?
You just need to go to settings > iCloud and scroll down to the backup option and make sure it is turned on. When your device is locked, attached to a power source (not a computer) and attached to Wifi, it will back up once within a period of 24 hours each time that these criteria are met.

How do the backup off-Lan with VCB
VMware dear Experts,
We currently have a VCB backup physical server, with the help that we are taking the backup virtual environment, we manage the following scripts

192.16.4.11: is a vCenter server ip address
20.200.20.55: is a VM IP
o:\mnt\BIN\VM1 is a Destination SAN LUN
Once we run that batch file backup that happens on the network, now we want the backup must be done at the level of SAN with the help of the VCB server.
Here's the scenario
ESX:172.10.10.10
On this esx, we have a san lun is mapped by a VM1 is stored on the same, we will map the same LUN to VCB server and now the LUN source and destination that is (o:\drive which is already connected to the vcb server) are mapped to the VCB server. Now with the help of the VCB script, we need to take backup of VM1, please help me how to do the same.
Concerning
Mr. VMware.
In a few words, you will need to only present the VMFS LUNS to the server VCB as you said and change the "-m ndb' option '-san m. This should work if the logic unit number is presented correctly.

try to set up my backup files will be stored on my drive c: internal, but the only option available is the dvd/cd drive how can I store on my drive c an option?
Windows cannot save the C: partition (which is where Windows is installed) on the C: partition.
You must be
(1) shrink the C: partition and create and partition drive (not the best of solutions)
(2) install another hard drive (better, but always sensitive to corruption in car during power failres or other problems)
(3) external USB key. This is the safest option, because the external drive has to know alternative, the only attached USB cable when you need to access the data, create or recover Image backups).

5.7 Lightroom does not. I have 'some import options was made' - "files could not be copied to the backup location" notice appearing as I download the device. I ignore and click OK. I then edit my photos and try to export. Water is no longer an option and exported labor is the original and not the published work? What do I need to fix this?
As Chetna asked, you export original? Yes, you are. It is asking to export a copy of your original file, that is, of course, not changed. So, Yes, you won't see any of your changes. That's why you can not apply a watermark. Adding a watermark in the image he'd a file not original.
Choose another value for the Format of Image under settings in the file.

Is it possible to exclude some discs of the VCB image-level backups?
I have VCB with Backup Exec 12 running successfully. Image and at the level of the backup files work as expected. However, I have a server with a large data volume (more than one terabyte) that I would be able to exclude at the Image level backups, using only at the level of the files or any other means to back it up. It's possible? A thought I had was to configure the volume in physical rather than virtual compatibility mode. Thoughts? Recommendations?
Thanks in advance.
A RAW device in mode physikal will not be saved in the VCB. I do it with our databases that reside on the RAW devices in the SAN, and I don't want that they are backed up with VCB. So, it is definitely possible.

VCB on the same servers as backup software
Is it possible to run VCB on the same server as your backup server? I don't want suppliers to backup VMware plugin/remote agent, but the support of backup real server software?
I would like to use an existing backup server which backup servers via the traditional agent installed on the server/vm and use VCB just to copy VM images on the local storage of backup server. I won't go on the virtual computer images using the backup of backup software.
You can... I believe that you use vcbmount to take a snapshot and mount the virtual drive, then its another comand to export data
VMware has a paper on VCB commands. I'm not sure of the exact commands... I use the framework vcb on my server (running BE12.5) backup... BE using the vcb to create the snapshot, mount the drive, throw on local storage and then unmount the virtual disk, remove the snapshot, and then save the disk exported to bands...

Windows 7 backup and restore shows no internal hard disk and the backup location option
Windows 7 backup and restore is only the possibility to go back to D drive which is a burner DVD C and F is both internal and external hard drives C is the system drive and F is a newly formatted 1 TB drive free. I access F in Explorer windows without any problems and I would use it for backup.
Hi dairy Tech 2000,
Welcome to the Microsoft answers site.
Drive/C: would not be shown to the backup files since this is the system drive. You cannot save files to C:/drive to C:/drive.
However, when you change the backup settings to another drive on the computer, follow the steps below:
1. click on start.
2. backup and restore type of search.
3. click on change settings.
4. This will show the drives internal i.e. your F: drive / on the computer.
Now you can set the location of drive F:.Learn more about the backup from the links below: back up and restore: frequently asked questions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Back-up-and-restore-frequently-asked-questions

find the right backup of cloning using up the time option
Hello
I'm trying to create a script to find out what files to backup (backup rman, rman backup control file and archivelogs) are needed to create a clone of production data base lets say for 1 month ago or two weeks ago.
My backups are marked, performed on the disk, but a night job takes the disk backup files and moves them to tape.
So, before I can restore correct correct tape files, I need to know what files to backup should I restore a band.
I could start the clone and she'll tell me it cannot find the files of backup that is named xxx, yyy and it will eventually error and output, but I find the files.
The idea is to find the files before the script (script clone) could not find the right files.
I tried to use the v$ element_sauvegarde, v$ backup_files equivalent rc_ view (s) and tried to join them, but I couldn't find the join columns. I tried stamp column. This gives me some information so I can find the files, but I need to know the approximate duration of the backup.
So my question is: how RMAN queries it sees? (v$ backup %) I couldn't find a link to foreign key between tables.
Here is the result of what I managed to find, but I have to give the approximation of 1 hour (1 hour before NMR files have been generated and 1 h after) so I could find the controlfile files and the archivelogs rman backup files.

Then a tip: you should always join columns (STAMP and COUNTY)for example

In this example, I have 4 archivelogs in the backuppiece.

Time Capsule - problem with the backup
Hej!
I get the message "an error occurred during the file copying. The problem may be temporary. If the problem persists, use disk utility to repair the backup drive. "A bit of research on Google, it seems that to restart the time capsule actually perform a repair disk. So I did it. The problem comes back, and sometimes she disappears, if I restart the backup, which confuses me. Is it possible to view the error logs and check what is the problem? I'm afraid that the backup drive may have hardware problems. I bought time capsule airport little for more than a year (in Sweden).
Someone else has encountered this, and what was your solution?
Johannes
Most of the questions is network... and the error messages may not clearly identify between a network and disk problem problem.
I bought time capsule airport little for more than a year (in Sweden).
How long this problem has been going since then?
In Europe the warranty period may be 2 or 3 years by law.
Certainly if you have AppleCare on a supported product... computer, ipad, or apple TV the TC will be replaced by Apple under warranty. Just explain your problem to them.
If you do not have access to the warranty or replacement.
I highly recommend that you check your drive TC if there is nothing on what you need... then do a single pass low level format. It's utilitarian airport disk tab Archive is here... then the clear operation.
Erase use the single-pass option.
It is a low level disk format. (Don't bother with 7 and never even dream of using 35).
If the problem persists when you restart the backup I suspect network problems... or the TC is a failure... mine (a 3rd in 3 years) comes from the same way... I pulled the drive and replaced it with a better brand than the basic model known problem seagate used Apple.

How can I download the backup on Mac and then restore it via iTunes?
The STRP to restore stuck on "remaining time: estimation...» "So I would like to download the backup on my Mac and then restore it via iTunes.
