• Backup integration with VMware Data Recovery (VDR) tape - how to guide

  Hi all

  It's just something I've had a lot of people ask me about this.

  Here is an article on using VDR tape backup. It's actually very simple, there is no rocket science here, but it might be useful to the have exposed again.

  FWIW, I used your great white paper today, Peter, with a lot of success in testing applications third VDR.  Discovered VDR is actually much faster and easier to work, especially for the backup of NAS devices.  Thx for the link!

• The simplies never backup? -with VMware Player

  Hello community,

  is it possible to use VMware player form simplies to 'save' like this:

  1. a virtual machine inside directoty create: VM_Win7_Folder

  2. copy and paste the complete record for let say Copy_VM_Win7_Folder

  3 and virtual distributor once the VM_Win7_Folder is infected or something just go and delete the entire folder

  with Windows Explorer and rename Copy_VM_Win7_Folder in VM_Win7_Folder and start VM?

  Is it works too?

  Best regards

  Milan

  Yes, make a copy of the files that make up a virtual machine is a way to save.  Made it with the stop of the guest operating system, not suspended and VMware Player closed.

  You can also use snapshot to revert to a previous State thus solve the immediate problem, but remember to always keep any user of data that is stored with the file systems Guest if operating system you do not lose and the user data when it is necessary to restore a VM from the backup or to revert to a previous snapshot.

• Use SRM with Veeam for replication

  Anyone using Veeam to replicate the data of a site of Prod to a recovery site, also using MRS to create recovery groups and run then planned migration?  Is it still possible?

  No it's not possible - they are independent products - this white paper describes the product isolation - http://www.veeam.com/vmware-srm-veeam-backup-replication-complementing-tools.html

• VMware VDR or VEEAM backup choice for backups and restorations of VM

  Hello

  Can someone suggest the best solutions to choose from-VDR or Veeam Backup.

  I know there are limitations with VDR as appropriate in the middle of small infrastructure...

  My infrastructure is 1 VC, 4 guests. 50-60 VM in a cluster. and I usually tape backups.

  Thanks in advance.

  You may ask why I need that? for example, if I have 3 disks for a virtual machine - C: D: E:, c: what is 20 GB contains windows OS and other two are huge disks and data (files I need) are saved by my TSM software. I would then backup that only the OS disk and the remaining disc are copied by TSM. I don't want to copy complete D: E:...

  It depends on your backup strategy.

  In my humble OPINION, I prefer to have a backup of the complete VM image... just to have a real "disaster recovery system. Of course only the system drive may suffice, but you need to document what other drives were present.

  And don't forget that VDRS and Veeam (and another backup product) can operate in "extra" mode, so that new data is copied, not whole disk (except the first, of course).

• Veeam Backup and the Mode of free features

  People,

  I started a support with Veeam call after the installation of their new backup and replication 4.1.1 after getting an error "free ESXi is not supported" after some troubleshooting tech me determine what level of license Info Service is listed, ESXFull, or ESXBasic. After determining that it is ESBasic they advise that we are 'free' feature mode and call the VMWare licenses.

  I'm missing somethgin here, I thougth all ESXi were free, a matter that deals with this and how do I get this to ESXFull?

  Thank you

  Free ESXi is free. It can be licensed for use with the rest of the vSphere product suite. In free mode, there are several things that are not available, including the storage API. Veeam backup uses the storage API, which means that you must have a licensed version of ESXi. The simplest version of a bundle under license is http://www.vmware.com/vmwarestore/buyvsphere-small-business.html

• After a year with vmware, which now: vSphere or Hyper-V?

  We use VI 3.5 on 3 servers blades in the past year. Recently, I spent VCP310 and now I'm preparing for the VCP410 exam.

  We must now improve VI3.5 to vSphere and buy licensed vSphere for 2-3 new servers (CPU 8-10).

  I really like VI 3.5, we have no problem in production with VI, but when I compare the prices and features with MS Hyper-V, I ask Vmware aims to take down the price?

  I also think the other interesting what will be in the next 1-2 years?

  Thank you very much

  I understand your situation - two MS and VMware have their own take on how to model the cost of Virtual Infrastructure and financial need of good reasons to spend money when 'free' at the moment is an option - is my point of view of the scenario.

  1. There is no such thing as "free" in business - whether it is a hypervisor or anything else.  MS offer hyper-v as a loss leader to encourage organizations to purchase the suite of products - SCCM, SCOM, SCDPM, SCVMM System Center... etc.

  2. when sizing a solution of hyper-v that I found you miss memory before the other limitations such as cpu - MS thwart it by saying RAM is cheap and you can put as much RAM you need in a hyper-v Server - anyone who has tried to buy strips 8 GB DIMM recently will tell you memory is certainly not cheap if you want to increase the memory on a server.

  3. my point of view on Hyper-V, it is a good choice for organizations with limited budgets and limited their virtual infrastructure requirements. It can also be a good target for organizations with a strong prejudice Ms.

  4. a lot of the 3rd party backup and replication offerings do not provide any currently capabilities for hyper-v - for example, you might find yourself locked up a world of pure MS - be that good or bad. This is slowly changing, and more products will be compatible with hyper-v as the year rolls.

  5. I always find customers are willing to pay, for vSphere customers looking to deploy DR or BC have more options with VMware, Xenserver or Hyper-v.

  If the answer is unique for each company - but your IT and business needs should decide your future strategy rather than the underlying technology.

  As told in some once said-"If you think that technology is the answer to your problem, then you don't understand your problem.

• ReSTOR vCenter Veeam Backup 5

  Veeam backup 6.0 allows us to save all our virtual machines.

  We use VMware ESXi 5.0

  Our vCenter 5.0, I installed on a virtual machine.

  The vCenter server is backed up every night of Veeam Backup.

  My question is:

  If our vCenter server crash, is it then possible to restore I have the backup that was night done previus?

  We whant to do a restore complete the vcenter our Backup Server.

  I don't know how our ESXi servers will react when see her sudden an older vCenter, we restored backup.

  Hello

  We use Veeam B & R v6 for the last 3 years.

  Lets say you have a failure of your vCenter server and there is no quick way, you can solve the problem.

  1. turn off the vCenter server crashed.

  2. go to the B & R Veeam

  3. click on restore, then select a restore point for that perticular Server

  4. replace one of the ESX hosts.

  Now in the case where this happens Veeam can see vCenter and if he can't have not all hosts to restore. Then you just 'Add Host' and add the ESXi box, that you want to restore.

  Now you can move on to step 3.

  Wait for restore to finish, and you're done.

  Some settings that you can select are "lit VM after restoration" "connect Newtorking.

• Veeam Backup

  Ciao ragazzi,.

  dopo few brutta con adventure it Vmware Data Recovery, ho deciso di passare con veeam backup large soddisfazione. Certo he costo non e da than my sound system important save...

  I wanted chiedervi a few info sui licenziameti del software... ho guardato sul sito ed ho anche delle quotazioni my mi hanno asked a po' confuso.

  VI spiego meglio:

  MI trovo nella ibm_db in cui ho 3 Esxi version 5 Enterprise vSphere hosts con 2 CPU ciascuno ed UN Vcenter Foundation.

  MI trovo in questa ibm_db partendo da una versione Advanced 4.1 con che he passaggio alla 5 e sparita e quindi obbligato a passare all'Enterprise!

  Ho visto che, sono versioni di Veeam (the Essentials per intenderci) che ti permetto di licenziare fino a 3 con 2 CPU host...

  Questo che coprire could better it mio caso... ad una prima occhiata...!

  My is non ho capito posso male utilizzare versione Veeam Essentials solo con the versioni di Vsphere Essentials!

  Quindi, despite abbia una infrastruttura cui non superoanterior I requisiti hardware imposti dalla licenza di Veeam essentials, seems to che possa non utilizzare tale version...

  VI pulito...? Avete considerazioni in merito?

  Grazie come sempre!

  By Veeam essential non e più required essential Vmware. Making of da 6 non e più a bundle: ora e a bundle da 2 outlet, my is not can buy al massimo 3 bundle (quindi comunque copertura di 6 socket max).

• Backup failed with error 18: the backup drive is not found

  Hello

  My guard time capsule saying "Backup failed" for a few days and I cannot access the old backup files either (when I enter my time machine it shows 'today', which is kind of scary, although I know that my old files is still there). I tried many ways to trouble shoot this problem, but none of this has worked. In my opinion, it's more a network problem and I made sure I connect Wi - Fi even my time capsule created.

  So far I have tried:

  -Delete the files from my internet (com.apple.airport.preferences.plist; preferences.plist and NetworkInterfaces.plist, etc.) and restart my mac

  -Remove TimeMachine.plist and restart my mac

  -Hard reset of my time capsule. Went through all configurations with success but then still backup missed (I hear the running time capsule when it is by train).

  I share this time capsule with my wife and she has no problem with that.

  I can only think of a possible alternation I did which could cause this problem.

  Because of unstable WiFi problem, I had deleted

  com Apple.Airport.Preferences.plist

  com.Apple.Network.identification.plist

  NetworkInterfaces.plist

  Preferences.plist

  or other files and reboot my mac * before * I had this problem with time capsule.

  However, this is not the first time I do it, and it wasn't a problem before...

  This could be the reason? If so, how to restore the network settings?

  Please help me with this problem. Really appreciate!

  Ted

  What model is the TC?

  Try to force the connection to 2.4 ghz using different names for the various bands... or even better to use ethernet.

  (You may need to buy love at first sight for adapter Ethernet... is an investment worth considering how unreliable wireless).

  Also give me some screenshots of the TC installing airport utility.

  Can you get it in the Finder?

• ThinPro with VMware View USB Redirection

  Hi all:

  I'm trying to configure my workstation (t620 ThinPro 5.1 running) to start required services necessary for USB with VMware View forwarding at startup.  I tried to add the command to /etc/rc.local and created my own init.d script, but none of these options automatically launch services.  Run manually /etc/rc.local and the custom init.d script launches the services successfully.

  Has someone managed to get the necessary USB redirection services running at the start?  Any guidance is appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Solved my problem... changed under USB Manager Remote Protocol of VMware View.  Updated this setting caused VMware services to run at startup.

• Satellite Pro 6100 how to use recovery DVD-ROM with vmware products

  Hello

  I like to use the recovery DVDs of product (T201651-GR) of my Satelite Pro 6100 on VmWare player, because I use openSUSE Linux as main operating system (not Windows installed on the hard disk).
  I do like install and save hard disk laptop, so that to restore later inside the vmware. If it works?
  I wonder if someone can tell me how to use my legal version of Windows XP on VmWare player?

  Thank you in advance,
  Bernd

  Hello

  I doubt that it works with VmWare.
  Why?
  Because the restore CD contains the ghost image files and you will need to boot from the recovery CD for installation.

  So I see the chances of getting this job running VmWare.

• I just got an iPhone 6 and when I plugged in my laptop, he asked if I wanted to restore my new phone. I said yes! But unfortunately chose the wrong backup restore with. Is there a way I can go back to how my phone was before?

  I just got an iPhone 6 and when I plugged in my laptop, he asked if I wanted to restore my new phone. I said yes! But unfortunately chose the wrong backup restore with. Is there a way I can go back to how my phone was before?

  Yes, you can as long as you understand that you will lose everything that is currently on the phone.

  (1) settings > General > reset > erase content and settings

  That will make the iPhone as new.  Then, during the installation process it again once will ask you if you want to restore from an existing backup.  You can then restore the scheduled backup.
