• VM backup using VMware Consolidated Backup

  Hello

  I have ESX 3.5 Update4

  can someone explain pls howto backup computer virtual using VMware Consolidated Backup?

  Well,.

  There is a "VCB" that can be used in the COS of your ESX by running the command as shell vcbMounter. But most of the people using the Windows package "VCB 1.5" so just install it on any windows machine. Don't forget that you need disk space for storing images FullVM or a connected tape drive is required.

  After installation, change the config/config.js to match your needs. It provides some general parameters and default values. If you use a San or any iSCSI storage do not forget to run "diskpart automount disable" and 'diskpart automount scrub' first befor all required LUNS mounting.

  Now start playing with vcbMounter.exe. Remember that by default I have '-san m "is used which try to read data directly from the SAN. If you do not have a SAN using "m ndb" rather than transfer the data via the ESX host.

  VMware provides some PDF documents on the use of VCB and also the "my learn" section provides useful information.

• Virtual XP MACHINE all read-only files

  I installed Fusion 2.0.2 on OSX 10.5.6 and built a virtual machine with XP SP3.  All files are marked read-only as for the most part (not a full audit, but shaded box).  When I change to not be RO in the properties of the folder and propagate this change through the directory, change is not licensed. Immediately reopening the folder properties shows the same status.  This is true for all folders.  Applications of the virtual machine behave inccorectly without the ability to create/edit files.  There is only one account - administrator.  I don't see a reason XP for this Act.  How to prevent evolution to RO on files?

  This has nothing to do with VMware Fusion and is strictly a matter of Microsoft Windows.

  Look: you can not view or change the read-only or the system attributes of folders in Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, or Windows Vista

• Backup error ReadyNas DUO - «read only file system»

  Hello community,

  I hope you can help me with a problem I'm having with my ReadyNAS Duo (v1) running Raidiator 4.1.14. At night, it is running a backup job that copies a file from a computer on the local network to the NAS itself. What often happens is after a reboot for a while, things work sometimes days, sometimes weeks. But then I get e-mails warning that contains journal like entries:

  CP: cannot create the file ' / backup/projecten/./CAM_strip/01_v0.1.JPG': read-only file system

  Usually this warning is given for each file (which means thousands) so that emails are big enough. And obviously the backup has not been made. I tried to solve this problem and sought similar questions on this forum and on the web, but nothing helped. I can't identify what is the cause.

  Maybe you could help me the grace to some of the run settings, I can tinker too. I guess it has something to do with the ownership and rights to access these files and folders.

  Thank you!

  Hello Miss,

  Aside from trying StephenB and JennCs suggestions, if you create a test share, can you tell us if you will experience the same behavior in read-only?

  Forward to your response.

  Kind regards

• VMWare Consolidated Backup question

  I always get the following error message when you try to run postbackup.bat after a successful prescan.bat:

  Error "VcbMounter" 7268 - could not read information take it apart.

  For this reason, I have always supported my virtual machine using only prescan.bat images.

  2 questions:

  1. is it OK for prescan.bat nothing else work later (I did about 3 backups of image of vcb of my vm in the last 6 months)

  2. What can cause the error when you try to run postbackup.bat for stored virtual machines?

  Thank you!!!

  If you run a backup of FullVM, the post is not required. Disassemble the VCBmounter process and will automatically delete the snapshot. The post script is necessary for a file backup to take it apart and remove the snapshot. Take a look at my VCB 'Guide proven practices' on VI:OPS-> http://viops.vmware.com/home/docs/DOC-1392 he explains the process for you.

• Veeam backup or vmware consolidated backup?

  What is the best?

  Thank you

  RJ

  We will all live a virtual life...

  Hello

  Certainly VCB is not as rich in features as Veeam but you can compare the two, they take data outside the ESX host and place it on a backup server. You should necessarily not a script to do this with VCB, but it will certainly help! For environments really small hand vcbMounter orders will pass data of the ESX host to your backup host. Then you will need a (even when using Veeam) mechanism to move the backup to a kind of Ribbon, blu - ray or a another backup device.

  Granted in some cases Veeam will also make use of the VCB to make its backups and Veeam combined with VCB is a pretty good combination.

  Best regards

• Installation of VMware Consolidated Backup with vRanger connection - first installation

  I want to install VCB (for the first time) that will be integrated with Vizioncore vRanger connection.

  Does anyone have a better practice and document installation on the installation of the VCB process?

  Also someone with experience integrating connection VCB with vRanger?

  Thank you all...

  Follow the instructions of vizioncore.  They pretty much say on complete installation.  This is the best practice.

  vRanger connection works very well with VCB.  Install connection vRanger first then install the VCB proxy for vRanger connection.

• File placed in Mac server with read/write access to all the world, but when a Windows machine changes and saves the file, it becomes read-only

  Original title: Excel file permissions

  At my work, all except 2 computers are Macs. I'm one of the only Windows machines. I created an Excel file which I want everyone at the office to access and modify. We have put on the Mac server and changed the permissions for everyone to read and write. I also had that done on the Windows machine before placing it on the server. However, people on Mac machines can open, change it and save it without problem. But if one of the machines Windows opens, modifies and saves, it restores the Mac machines to read-only. Anyone know how to fix this?

• After backup: Destination is read-only?

  I'm working on implementing a backup procedure appropriate as recommended by most of the experts on this forum. But when you try to save a large amount of data, I get this error message:

  Backup: Backup error 'data to USB_HDD_4' job: destination is read-only.

  Data, at first sight, seem to be copied on the USB drive.
  I tried this on 3 different drives, including the brand new out of the box 2. So I do not think that they would all be defective. This makes me think that it is either a problem with my data on the NAS or a problem in the FrontView backup procedure.

  When I connect the drive to the computer and remove the directories manually, for some files with names very long and a deep path, I get an error message ' Source path too Long ":

  
  That's why I'm currently suspect file names very long or very long paths, but I do not know if it is really what is the cause.

  I removed a few directories that I suspected of the SIN, but in the next backup, the message continues to come back. So now I'm stuck in a catch-22 situation. I don't know if my backup succeeds and do not want to delete all the data more than the SIN, because it can not saved correctly. So I am not able to set up a procedure of backup appropriate right now.

  Has anyone found the root causes of the message "Destination is read-only?
  Is it possible that I can get more information about what happened during the backup (for example, this file is causing the message)?

  Have searched for a solution to this problem for a long time, but never managed to find the root cause.

  In the end, I decided to remove the offending subdirectory containing a backup of a Windows system files. This solves the problem with the backup procedure.
