VMA 4.0 for backup using ESXi 4.0 host setting?

Hi all

I installed 4.0 vMA and able to ping the host name of ESXi01 from the console of the root,

but when I try to run the following command: # vicfg - cfgbackup - Server ESXi01 s BackupESXi01

where can I get this backup file?

Kind regards

AWT

If the command runs successfully, your backup file is saved in the course of work directly and must be named BackupESXi01 you specified with s param

  • Full syntax for backup using RMAN

    Hi all..
    I have Oracle 11g installed on M5000, Solaris 10
    I want to take a full backup of my database through RMAN
    I enter on the backup server

    . .DB/env
    Connect catalog rrkas/rr345

    He began the work. On my dbserver file is created according to the format.

    just want to ask, is it the right way to take complete or physical backup? Backup is enough fully to recover the files, in which case a new RAC is added to the cluster?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Local concept of method hotadd VM Backup using VCB v1.5u1 and ESXi 4 datastre

    Hi all

    I would like to get clarification using ESXi VCB v1.5 Update 1

    Backup VM with method -hotadd in vSphere 4 (all servers are ESXi 4)

    The objectives is to make the backup of virtual machine faster since most of the

    VM is in MD3000i_SAN VMFS and between the ESXi host is a direct connection

    both ESXi1 and ESXi2

    The setting is as follows:

    1. Windows Server 2003 x 64 Standard VM +.
      VCB framework deployed on the ESXi1 and the local Datastore SATA ESXi2, namely VCBProxy01and VCBProxy02 all had only 40 GB HD size

    2. VM empty created on the two ESXi1
      and ESXi2: VCBProxy01(VCB-HELPER) and VCBProxy02(VCB-HELPER).
      All this without hard drive

    Organizational chart: http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/7607/esxir.jpg

    * vcbmounter h

    virtualcenterHOST u Administrator Pei AdminPASSWORD - an ipaddr:server1.domain.com

    Server2.domain.com server3.domain.com - r D:\OUTPUTDIR t fullvm - L 6 - m hotadd *.

    but then I got the error:

    Error: the extra arguments unexpected encounter.

    VMware Consolidated Backup - Virtual Machine set up Utility Version 1.5.0.4948 (build 150805)

    No idea how to do several VM (online and offline) hotadd method through command line please?

    Hello

    You can not pass several VM arguments in a single command. It must be only 1 VM. In your case, by looking at the settings, I guess that you pass the name of the virtual machine and no ip address. If you give - an ipaddr to be ip address of the target VM to back up. Else to move the VM name, it must be - a name: vm - name.

    Still, you can't spend several VM in a single order VCBMounter names. To run the backup for several virtual machines you should run several instances of the command line with the corresponding target VMs name / ip address. I hope this helps.

    Thank you

  • Is it necessary to use separate external hard drive or external hard drive new or freshly formatted for backup time machine.

    Both fresh and freshly, can use as a Time Machine backup HARD drive, although I personally prefer to use newly formatted disk.

  • Use the TC for backup and as external hard drive

    Hello

    Can I use TC for backup and as external hard drive?

    If yes then when it is full, TC erase my personal data I have stored in TC as a hard drive or erase the oldest backups?

    1. Yes, but you shouldn't. Your working data and backups must be on separate drives in case one of them goes down.

    2. Time Machine will not erase the data it did not originally there.

  • I'm using Time Machine (1 TB), works very well, but because full starting to delete previous backups. Can I add another (LaCie 1 TB) HARD disk for backups? If so, how to proceed. Thank you!

    I'm using Time Machine (1 TB), works very well, but because full starting to delete previous backups. Can I add another (LaCie 1 TB) HARD disk for backups? If so, how to proceed. Thank you!

    You can add another drive to accept backups Time Machine... assuming it is correctly formatted for Mac to Mac OS extended (journaled), but things are not exactly "continue."

    You have not indicated if you intend to add the player to the USB port on the Time Capsule, or connect directly to your computer using USB or FireWire connections. Or the other method works, with the option to connect directly to the computer being the faster connection.

    Once the disc is added, you would go in Time Machine preferences (click the "clock" at the top of the screen on your Mac) to add the disk for Time Machine backups and delete the old Time Capsule disk, since backups will go is no longer this destination.

    Since you have a new drive, Time Machine will do a new full backup of your Mac and then go forward with incremental backups.

  • Use the TC for backups only, while the computer is connected to a different network

  • I can't use iCloud for backup of data from third-party applications

    I use an iPod touch 6th generation and I wanted to use iCloud for backup of Twitter, IG, Pinterest etc. I've tried searching steps. So far I've been finding the same set of instructions:

    Settings > iCloud > storage > select your iDevice > turn on apps you want to iCloud to save

    But after clicking on the storage, I don't see that 'manage storage' and below, the option 'change of Plan '. Why does my iPod not not the option choose iDevice? I can see the option to save the data of integrated applications, but not applications, third-party. My iCloud that unit is on but my Photos under icloud is disabled. I really need the extra space. What seems to be the problem?

    Click Manage store (settings > iCloud > storage > Storage manage and you see what moves backup iCloud storage.)

  • I want to use a flash drive for backup, BUT I want a full backup of the entire drive.

    I had once an external drive for backup.  It was supposed to be a backup that would replace everything and put it back where it was.  I cheated because when I got to use it I found that it would reinstall was certain documents and photos.  None of my downloads and all the update programs has been lost. I wanted a mirror image!

    Now, I think a full image on a flash drive would be the way to go, but I don't know what software to use.

    I need help from someone who has this software and a USB flash drive.  Thank you

    Hello

    1/10 1.5 TB = 150 GB - buy a 150 GB flash drive (if you could find it on the market today) could cost you an arm and a leg. Buy a 1 to external portable HARD drive can cost you a little more $ 100.

    I hope this helps.

  • Using a USB flash drive for backup more driver and application backup recovery

    I have a 32 GB flash drive I used to create a recovery for my Aspire S7 backup using Windows 8.1. I understand that in creating this backup everything on the flash drive is deleted before creating backup. Can I now use this drive for other purposes, e.g., pilots and backup applications, pictures, documents, etc., or this flash drive now should he remain dedicated to the sole purpose of being a backup recovery?

    Hi zimmerbob

    I keep as a backup to dedicated recovery flash drive and use one for drivers & applications.

    It is always wise to keep the recovery discs, as well as the recovery disks. Flash memory is quite inexpensive for the moment!

    Thank you.

    HI -.

    We use Veritas for the backup device. You will need to contact your representative of Veritas for license information - it is not provided by Cisco. Since the unit running SQL (or MSDE 2000), you will need SQL Veritas agent to back up OPEN files. We do not use dirt, but only for the backup device before performing the upgrades.

  • Best practices for backup of vCenter device and ESXi hosts?

    Hello

    I have a new VMware environment based on 5.5 ESXi and vCenter Server Appliance. A few questions:

    • What is the best practice to perform the backup of the vCenter Server Appliance? I set up the camera with the embedded SQL Express database.
    • It's recommended to backup the ESXi host or is it easier to any re - install failure?

    Best regards
    ,

    Thor-Egil

    Hello

    You can use VMware VDP to backup your device of vCenter. It is included in essentials, standard, enterprise, and enterprise as well as licenses.

    I won't have backups of ESXi servers. Restore the backup would take more time that the deployment of a new ESXi.Only thing, you may want to consider is to enable logging remotely, so you can see why the hosts failed.
