• 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.

• VMware Consolidated Backup, LInux Machines go read-only

  We have a strange problem, the scenario is as follows:

  3 knots x 3650, hba qlogic, Vmware 3.5 Update 4

  1 SATA ds3400 dual ctrl

  1 x 3650 dedicated to the VCB nodes

  A lot from time to time, virtual Linux machines, VCB has completed the backup, rest with the read-only file system, the only chance to solve the problem is to restart the virtual machines: we already checked the vmware tools and are all up to date.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you very much

  As a general rule, it is not realistic to adjust the waiting times for the LSI or buslogic drivers scsi as they would need to be recompiled. To my knowledge there is no kernel option, you can pass to them on this issue. Some versions of redhat specifically deal with it is bad and flipping in read-only mode. I think RHEL 4 U4 and precedent are touched by this, U5 has been set, and the problem was inexplicably re-introduced in U6 (I hope those updated numbers are right, I have to look back through my SRs to understand). If I were you, I would look at the upgrade to vSphere 4 that has a couple of cool things.

  1. new options scsi (LSI SAS, paravitual SCSI driver pvscsi virtual controller)

  2 VMFS 3.33 (which will require you to reformat your LUN with the new VMFS however) has up-to-date SAN attempts, which means that wait times do not necessarily make the LSI/Buslogic controller in the first place and will be dealt with at the level of the VMFS layer. It is possible that you could put a LUN with the VMFS 3.33 using host vSphere 4.0.0 and not spend the rest of your hosts, but I'm not positive on this one here.

• 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.

• 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.

• Consolidated Backup with pre-existing NetBackup Master

  Hello

  We try to set up Consolidated Backup (v1.5). We already use Netbackup (version 6.0) for all our physical machines.

  All of the documentation, it seems that install us VCB, Consolidated Backup Integration Module & NetBackup server. The documentation goes on to suggest that we install NetBackup master server on the Proxy. But we would like to use our existing NetBackup master, which has storage on tape already connected etc.

  Are we able to install NetBackup as a client on the Proxy and hang it in an existing NetBackup master?

  Thanks a lot for all the help on this

  It depends on how you wish to save. You can create a multimedia server and install the framework it. You could install on the master server, or you could install it on a client computer. The client machine must also the administration console installed if you go this route.

  I wrote two guides around VCB. One is generic-> http://www.dailyhypervisor.com/2010/01/15/setting-up-vcb-for-any-backup-software-revisited/

  One for NBU and vRanger connection-> http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-11417

• BACKUP QUESTION: Why is it when I backup the Lightroom Catalog (Edit |) Settings of catalog...) only the *.lrcat file included in the ZIP file... While the *., lrdata file, the preview files, ARE NOT INCLUDED?  When I restore the file *.lrcat from a backu

  BACKUP QUESTION: why is it that when I backup the Lightroom Catalog (Edit |) Settings of catalog...) only the *.lrcat file included in the ZIP file... While the *., lrdata file, the preview files, ARE NOT INCLUDED?  When I restore the *.lrcat file from a backup, WHERE ARE THE PREVIEW FILES that should be included in the ZIP to the top.  If *.lrdata (Preview file) are so important, why are not included in the zip?  [email protected]

  OK, so that's my scenario:

  Thanks again for staying with me on this.  I don't know that your answer will solve my confusion. -Craig

  Questions 1)

  Not because the LRDATA file is fair previews, what LR displays on your screen for a faster loading of the image and will be recreated. The previews only stored in the folder LRDATA is the basic overview created at time of importation for the display of thumbnails and previews of 1:1 for images that you have actually looked in the Loupe View or I guess that appears in the develop module.

  He get all the data to create the image themselves file extracts.

  If you have several files on your system that have pictures in them and you select one of them that you have not looked at in a while, you will notice LR creation of previews for these images, there will be 3 white dots in the upper right corner of the thumbnail. It's LR creation of previews for the thumbnail view. If you scroll quickly in the grid view, you'll notice a few thumbnails of images are gray, until you stop scrolling, then the upper left tile will come in clear view and the white dots will appear on the other images. It's LR creating previews for those of other images. Once LR created the preview of thumbnails that are on your screen, white spot will disappear. If you scroll down again, you will see more white dots

  If you switch to another folder that LR begins again create preview images in this folder. The total number of previews created and stored based on caching of the preview you have in the catalog settings dialog in the management of the files tab.

  If not, you need not the LR Previews.lrdata folder. Whenever LR is not very good this folder with a catalog he recreates it to store previews in.

  

• Error while you're using backup consolidated backup

  Hello

  We are facing a problem with the servers while using backup consolidated backup.

  When the backup runs through scritp, it just create a snapshot of the server of th. and the name of the hard disk goes from the original for example abc1.vmdk to abc1 - 000033.vmdk

  There are several snapshot files. Like this.. which is not allowing us to make the backup

  I tired to change name to onec .vmx files HARD drive system startup and original. but its still looking for the other snapshot, VMDK fies

  PL. help.

  Thank you

  Smail

  If you go into the directory of the virtual machine and "mv vmname.vmsd vmname.vmsd.old", then delete all the snapshot files since you can not use the more anyway, then you should be able to successfully take a snapshot of the virtual machine and then delete it (aka "remove all" in the Snapshot Manager).

  In the future, just move the file to another name vmsd, then create a snapshot and delete all snapshots. and it should solve your problem.  Starting the virtual machine on the "basic" disk will result in losing you any data that was in the virtual machine, since the first snapshot was taken.

• Text backup question / deleted

  I accidentally deleted one of my iPhone SMS 6 Plus.  They always show on my iMac and iPad but I fear when an AutoSave occurs, it will back up the iPhone and remove them to two other devices. What will happen?  I use iCloud if that makes a difference.

  Hi melissahh625,

  I understand that you have questions about your messages deleted on different devices. I know that it is important to have a handle on your data, so I'm happy to help you.

  When you receive messages, they are stored on different devices. This means that when you delete a device they will not be deleted on the other. This is the case, even if one of your backup devices to iCloud that these backups are specific to devices, as well.

  Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. See you soon!

• Time Machine backup question

  I just bought a Mac Mini with TWO separate drives (ssd and hard drive) and I also bought a WD 1 TB of external drive to my Time Machine backups - so my question is:-How can I make sure that the disk WD and Time Machine will back up the TWO disks? and how do I configure this? Thanks in advance.

  Open the Time Machine system preferences pane, click Options, and check the exclusion list.
