• VM VMware Data Recovery and save after pRDM vdisks

  Hello

  We will use VMware Data Recovery. A virtual machine will be some vdisks that will be mapped and pRDM. I know that vSphere can't save pRDM. What I would like to know is if VM with pRDM can be saved by the device of data recovery.

  So, can I add VM who pRDM unit of data recovery. Vdisks (and associated data) that are no pRDM don't rely on VMware Data Recovery?

  Thank you!

• Warning of VMware data recovery and remote monitoring

  Hi all

  Anyone know if it is possible to monitor the warnin and messages of alarm vmware data recovery?

  For example "integrity check" fails, or "the incomplete backup job.

  I didn t find something about this in the user guide.

  MFG

  Andreas

  It's a shame, but there is no way to configure VDR (1.0.2) to send alarms.

  You might want to script that runs on the device (grep for "failed" so something like that).

• Types of backup destination VMware Data Recovery

  IM test VMware Data Recovery and reading it can save to different destinations. Here's a sentence from of the Administrator's guide.

  You can store backups on network, VMDK shares, or RDM.

  The only option I see is the network share and make a folder called VMwareDataRecovery with other files and folders in it. If I backup more 1 VM to this nextwork share looks like it mixes everything together. I was under the impression that you can save in a file single vdmk.

  The only options I have under VMware Data Recovery for Destinations are Refresh, add a share of Nework, Format, Mount, Unmount, Extend and integrity check

  Remove you it from the virtual computer by means of the settings?  If so, have you selected the option to remove the virtual machine and remove the disc?  If you have them removed from the virtual computer through the settings, then you can delete browser data store.  It will come to your space.  Also, see IO errors is because you took the disk to the virtual machine without removing firstly by vDR Console's Configuration.

  That said, I would do the following:

  1. Ensure that the VM vDR does not any VMDK attached other than the VMDK root which is 5 GB in size.

  2. Open the browser of data store and make sure that the former VMDK you created have disappeared.  If not, select them and click on delete.

  3. Go to the Configuration Console for vDR and look at Destinations of backup to make sure there is nothing there.  There should be nothing in the list of destinations, if there are, remove them.

  4. After checking the above, create a new size 15GB VMDK.

  5. Restart your virtual machine of vDR

  6. Go into the Console to Setup vDR and select the disk that you created in the backup Destinations, do a right click and select format.

  7. The size should report something similar to what my screenshot of previous shows.

  I would like to know if that works for you!

• Available in the company VMware data recovery?

  I'm trying to figure if VMware Data Recovery is available with the Enterprise license.

  If you see that the page VDR says that it is only available in Enterprise Plus, advanced and Essentials Plus Edition.

  http://www.VMware.com/products/data-recovery/

  But if you check that page compare shows THAT VDR is available in Advanced and Enterprise.

  http://www.VMware.com/products/vSphere/buy/editions_comparison.html

  Brennan-

  Data recovery is available for download from vSphere ESX(I) and vCenter Server downloads.  Download of data recovery will include a device to the OVF format, a vCenter plug-in and a restoration of file system component.  There is a simple installation guide, but basically, install the vCenter Plugin on your client computer, import the OVF, Plugin allows you to configure the device of data recovery.

  Let me know if you get stuck - I can give you advice a little more if you have a specific problem.

• Differences between POS and Vmware data recovery

  Hi, I wonder if vSphere5.1 has changed the name of recovering data vmware VMware Data Protection (WTP).

  I found that the download link illustrates the Vmware data recovery before vSphere5.0 and Vmware data protection after vSphere5.1.

  I think the same goes for Vmware recvoery data POS, but I want to confirm here.

• Deduplication before vSphere VMware data recovery 4

  Hi people,

  I decided to give a try to the Vmware Data Recovery product. I have recently updated our 3.5 ESX to vSphere 4. I installed the plugin for recovering data and the device, and I think that it does not work as it is supposed to, but I have a question.

  I read the documentation about the product to recover data and on page 8 of the admin guide, there is a note on the optimizations not applied to virtual machines created with vmware vSphere products 4.

  I vmotioned my machines windows and upgarded their vmware tools and equipment of 7 virtual machine. I was wondering these machines were created with ESX 3.5 and now that I've migrated to vSphere 4, doesn't that mean that deduplication will not take place with data recovery products when I'm in my data store backup? or am I misunderstanding this?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I give a try to VMware Data Recovery. So I installed the plugin on my XP SP3 computer.

  But since then, everytime I lauch VI client to step «Discover plugins...» ', it asks me to choose a debugger (with a unique choice of Microsoft Script Editor) and I must decline 10 times before it will work eventually. VMware support told me to install or reinstall my computer, but I'd rather have it run without a reinstall.

  Someone at - it an idea on how to solve this problem?

  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

• Understand planning for VMWare Data Recovery

  Hello

  Under VSphere 4.1.0 with vmware data recovery, through Assistant I generated a planned not here are the features in the attached screenshots backup task.

  I came back the next day, I saw that the backups are done at 8 in the evening (20: 00), but no time, it is written in Wizard I see slots... so where can I see the task of recording time son? and/or what are these slots in the end?

  

  Thanks in advance

  Hey North Carolina,

  It is precisely one of the problems of VDR: you don't master's degrees not starting backup time! You define time slots during which the backup can take place. Then, the VDR system decides alone when launch the backups. The only thing you're on, it's that no backup takes place during the time slot prohibited (in grey in interface).

  Good luck.

• VMware Data Recovery 2 in a vCenter Server

  Hi all

  I need a base backup of VMS backup solution. I know that each camera VDR is bounded to vCenter server, you might not use vcenter several with one camera VDR. But in a sense the opposite? I use several VDR devices with a vCenter server? I know about the limits of the VDR and probably I can achieve limit of 2 TB and only solution in this case use another camera VDR, but I don't know if it is possible to use more than a VDR with a vCenter.

  You can use up to 10 of VDR with a VirtualCenter.

  Look at the "VMware Data Recovery Administration Guide" on page 16:

  Special data recovery Compatibility Considerations:

  Ten aircraft recovery backup of data for each instance of vCenter server.

• Backup the VMware Data Recovery backupstorage?

  Hello

  Anyone who does backupstorage VMware data recovery backups to tape is?

  We back up several virtual machines on a NAS via CIFS. I don't know why someone would be the backup to a vmdk if they have a single SAN. This would mean that your backup are on the same storage as virtual servers, you backupped.

  VMware Data Recovery can keep track of the story according to your configuration. But if the NAS goes down, then you lose the history. My suggestion is to backup all the backupstorage on tape, but I wonder if it works. Do you need to take it apart if you are sure, that there is no dedup or optimization of processes running? A restore work? I want to say VMware Data Recovery will accept this 'old' storage and you only give access to the files? Because when you look at the backup storage, you'll see the files that don't resemble the original virtual machine.

  Thanks in advance for your comments!

• ESXi 4.1 + VMware Data Recovery 1.2 (without vCenter)

  Hello

  I installed VMware Data Recovery 1.2 on my ESXi 4.1 and when I connect to VMware Data Recovery I get the message "connected to the ESX Server, automatic backups will not be made.

  This means that scheduled backups only work if I receive vCenter? I without vCenter run backups manually?

  That is right. vDR is configured to discover your VM inventory via vCenter. The vDR is designed to provide a central interface for your VM backup/restore via vCenter.  The cool thing about this is that vDR keep track of your virtual machines if you transfer them via vMotion, HA, DRS, etc. But, Yes, you NEED vCenter.

• Programming Interface to call VMWare Data Recovery

  Hello

  I wonder if there is no out-of-box API call VMWare Data Recovery.  In other words, if there is a way to simulate all the operations that we could do to vSphere, creating a backup task, by selecting several virtual machines, etc., go to run in a period of time, either programmatically or by command line.

  Thank you.

  Lei

  as far as I know, no such API exists for vDR.
