VMWare Data Recovery does not properly

Hello

I use VMWare (VDR 2.0 - with Vsphere 5) data recovery tool. I'm tempted to save a virtual machine and the VDR said the backup was successful. But I can't restore the virtual computer. When I checked the log, I found that the vmdk is not saved.

26/07/2012 10:22:31: normal backup using Backup1
26/07/2012 10:23:18: created snapshot '_datarecovery_ '.
26/07/2012 10:23:19: copy "vm1' destined ' / MNT /.
26/07/2012 10:23:19: independent labels 'vm-153. "[datastore1] vm1/vm1.vmdk ' is not saved
26/07/2012 10:24:13: deleted snapshot '_datarecovery_ '.
26/07/2012 10:24:14: task completed successfully
26/07/2012 10:24:14: finished: 3 files, 26KO

26/07/2012 10:24:14: duration: 00:01:43 (00:00:48 idle/load/preparation)

I use the default backup device provided with the VDR. (Cent OS 5.5). I backup virtual machines on a NFS mounted in this machine (VDR) centos.

Can someone help me understand the problem? any help would be appreciated.

Newspapers say it all: "26/07/2012 10:23:19: independent labels 'vm-153." "" [datastore1] vm1/vm1.vmdk "unsaved."

This VMDK is configured as independent VMDK, independently discs are "made not snapshot ' type of drives and because of this VDR will not back up these disks.

First of all you need to know why this drive is configured as apolitical, apolitical fashion isn't really necessary then stop VM and remove "Apolitical" mode option of this hard drive in the hardware configuration of the VM.

  • VMware Fusion/Bootcamp does not properly.

    I'm under VMware Fusion 2.07 (Yes, I know version 3 came out, but money was tight) on an iMac 20 ". Mac OS X 10.6.4. I recently had the hard drive in this system upgrade, 300 GB to 1.5 TB; new installation of Mac OS X, all restored since my Time Machine backup, then installed Windows XP Home Edition, using boot camp. (300 GB partition.) So far, so good; It works well.

    When I say VMware to start the Bootcamp partition as a virtual machine, it goes through the usual process, then comes up with the dreaded error message: "the Boot Camp partition is not prepared to stand as a virtual machine. It seems that Windows is not stopped properly the last time it was used. »

    I tried to remove my configuration of VMware; I checked the partition tables and the types (the MBR and GUID alignment between them - as I told Windows to reformat the partition, rather than change the partitioning, it is what I expected); everything seems to be correct. I noted, however, that vmware-rawdiskCreator and fdisk print the size of the partition HFS + sub-1994391552, which seems to be strangely close (ie: bang on) an integer signed enveloping output in comparison with the tool GUID of. In exactly the same way, the beginning of the Windows partition is printed as 1993717760.

    Is it possible that this affects the failure, or is it just a loophole? I'm getting a little testy (although not significant at this stage, since I can afford now space drive needed to have a separate Windows for VMware image instead of joining the two together). I have attached the vmware.log in the hope that it might be useful.

    Your muchly.

    If the chkdsk command and Windows clean restart does not help, the only alternative is to force the partition to mount using the virtual machine. However, this should only serve as a last resort, since it can potentially corrupt data on the Windows file system. Make sure you have a backup of important data on the Boot Camp partition.

    To force the partition to mount, you will need to replace one of the files of the virtual machine for assistance. Go to Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Resources/naos-1.0.vmwarevm/ (use right click and view the contents of the package to get inside VMware Fusion.app and Ban - 1.0.vmwarevm). Then delete (or move to a backup) the reconfig.iso of the file and replace it with the version attached to my message.

    Note: this file is designed to work only with Fusion 2.0.7. Use it with newer versions will probably fail.

    This should allow the reconfiguration step to cross, and Windows can perform a check disk on first boot. If it isn't, it's probably a good idea to run chkdsk /f just in case.

  • BASIC data recovery, does not

    Greetings,
    I'm going out of my mind in this one. I have a problem with the help of httpservice:

    I can have mangled the code of tweaking and tweaking more, trying to get him back to what either. I usually end up 'result' as string.

    I have another part of the application is using the remote object and it returns the data, so I'm assuming that the server is configured correctly. I was originally with cfreturn, then cfxml, then I just pasted a generic xml on the page and tried to get it back. Page of cold fusion, with the XML control, kick off a debugging email so I know that it goes to the page I can't get all the data.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank you
    -Kevin



    Firstly, it is wrong:
    SearchResult = ResultEvent.RESULT;
    'ResultEvent.RESULT' is a constant, not the property that contains the data. You want to:
    SearchResult = event.result;

    "Then set HTTPService.resultFormat ='e4x '. You do not want the default resultFormat ="object", unless you are sure that you do and you know why.

    [Bindable]
    public var _xmlSearchResult:XML;

    Then in the Manager to:
    public void httpResult(event:ResultEvent):void {}
    _xmlSearchResult = XML (event);
    Alert.Show (_xmlSearchResult.ToXmlString ()); You must enable tracing for debugging. Alert can cause focus problems.

  • 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!

    If you have found this helpful at all prices please points using the correct or useful!  Thank you!

  • 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 and welcome to the forums.

    Once you upgrade older VMS v4 to v7 hardware virtual machine, then they are the same.  Discover the answer of amina in this discussion.

  • vSphere includes VMware Data Recovery... correct?

    I was looking at the VMware data recovery product and it is pretty cool... until I saw that you had to buy it.  Then I saw this:

    "VMware Data Recovery is included in vSphere Enterprise Plus, advancedand Essentials Plus editions"

    But we have 'Enterprise '.  So I can't imagine you advanced include this product, but Enterprise does not work?  Are not undertaken a step upwards to advanced?  Then shouldn't company not also understand this?  According to me, it's a bit unfair - but I hope it's just a bad impression.

    You are right in saying that the company includes Data Recovery. Go to the link below for comparisons of editing:

    the windows boot configuration data file does not contain a valid entry os

     


    How do I solve this problem

    Hello

    Assuming that it's just a problem with the recovery media, here's another solution, you can try.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( it must be the same version that originally shipped with your laptop - IE if your laptop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium, that is the file you need to download ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly file on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  The source of the Image is - Digital River.

    Images of Windows 7.

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

  • When I turn on my computer a warning appears indicating "delivery manager does not properly.

    DEP original title: data

    When I turn on my computer, a warning appears that says "delivery manager does not properly" and when I click on help and support balloon explanation is that my DEP is not configured correctly.

    Then, after following the instructions and correct the parameters I restart my pc and still the same message appears.

    Hi Olliewoods,

    (1) since when are you facing this problem?

    (2) what is you receive the exact error message?

    An application installed on the computer may be the cause of this problem; I suggest you try the following steps:

    Method 1: Put the computer to boot to determine which application is causing the problem.

    Follow step 1 in the link below,

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

    Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.

    After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.

    Important: n ' forget not the computer to start normal follow step 7 in the link.

    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 and work with independent labels

    I read on a forum: If you want to drive the snapshot of the virtual machine is not affected, in its properties, select the "independent". Moreover, if the virtual computer is 'Independent' disks, the snapshot cannot be included in his memory.

    There was a question if the readers to all virtual machines 'Independent', would work "VmWare Data recovery?

    I'm not sure about my discoveries. SO please don't take this as a solution to your problem. My conclusions are:

    When you start to take a vDR of backing up a virtual computer that is configured with an independent record, it will not be successful. As vDR is used to take a snapshot in order to perform the backup of a virtual computer. If the capture is here, Independent disks prevents taking snapshot.

  • 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.
