VMware VDR or VEEAM backup choice for backups and restorations of VM

Hello

Can someone suggest the best solutions to choose from-VDR or Veeam Backup.

I know there are limitations with VDR as appropriate in the middle of small infrastructure...

My infrastructure is 1 VC, 4 guests. 50-60 VM in a cluster. and I usually tape backups.

Thanks in advance.

You may ask why I need that? for example, if I have 3 disks for a virtual machine - C: D: E:, c: what is 20 GB contains windows OS and other two are huge disks and data (files I need) are saved by my TSM software. I would then backup that only the OS disk and the remaining disc are copied by TSM. I don't want to copy complete D: E:...

It depends on your backup strategy.

In my humble OPINION, I prefer to have a backup of the complete VM image... just to have a real "disaster recovery system. Of course only the system drive may suffice, but you need to document what other drives were present.

And don't forget that VDRS and Veeam (and another backup product) can operate in "extra" mode, so that new data is copied, not whole disk (except the first, of course).

  • MS complete PC Backup and Restore for Vista Ultimate backup programs and files?

    I'm new to computers and there is still a lot to learn, I have an OS Vista Home Premium and I think to upgrade to Ultimate and I read that the complete PC Backup and restore can be used with MS Virtual Server to back up the computer. But what I read didn't specifically tell me if she saves some programs I downloaded, it says full backup but computer language being what it is I don't quite mean it as programs and files, which is what I'm interested in. So I can save my programs and files with this system? I don't want to go all the time, trouble and upgrade costs if I can only do half of what I want to do. Thanks a lot for any help on this idea.

    "Windows complete PC Backup and Restore" only comes with the Ultimate and Business edition.

    Is it possible to add this functionality to my version of windows without switching completely to the Ultimate version?

    No, you will need a third party app. Many people prefer Acronis True Image, but I lean toward a slightly more expensive, but a complete solution, with this app.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones really backup and restore for the OS upgrade

    Hi all

    I'm new in the world of BB and I love it.

    I've recently updated the OS of my BB "BOLD" and was a little surprised by the backup and restore process...

    He missed some relevant info such as: BB Messenger discussions, certain parameters (network, wifi, email passwords options options...).

    Is there a way to really back up everything before the update of the OS? That's all just annoying (even if it's no big deal, the vast majority is here...)

    Thank you and have a nice day.

    See you soon

    The difference is this: I saw the backup upgrade automatically deleted at the end of the upgrade process. Your backup beforehand will ensure you the data for use if necessary.

  • DVD how much we need for the files backup with backup and restore program?

    Hello how are you?
    DVD how much we need for the files backup with backup and restore program? Y at - it large differences in the time and space between write backups on DVD and external hard drive?

    I do not understand your question.  Asked how the space has been used on your C: drive and you answered 60 GB.  Now you say your PARTITION C: is 60 GB with only 20 GB used?  I really don't understand what you're so confused.  It's simple arithmetic grade 3rd.  What is space you USED on the C: drive, that multiply by 0.7 to obtain the amount of space will be used on your backup disk after compression.  Divide this number by 4.7 and round.  That's how many DVDs you'll need if you insist on the use of DVDs for backup.  Then

    (1) If you are using 60 GB, the answer is (60 x.7) / 4.7 = 8.936.  I rounded up to 9 and added 1 just to be sure.

    (2) If you use only 20 GB, the answer is (20 x.7) / 4.7 = 2.97 rounded up to 3.  Add 1 and get 4.

    If you use only 20 GB, I am very surprised, because almost any important installation of Windows 7 is going to take more than 20 GB.

    All of this assumes that you do NOT use the Windows backup and restore program, but one that I recommended.  When I used the windows one, the results were several times the space that I used on my C: partition.

    Good luck.

  • Need for clarification for cold backup and restore

    Hi all...

    I have a lot of confusion about the cold backup and restore section.

    Already I posted a scanario this topic and I would like to know a few points of clarity to understand.


    1. I had cold backup two days before
    2. I create an object * (EMP) * and inserting some records can deliver log switch continiously.
    3. manually I deleted all the physical files (data files, files of control, files, papers, redolog files)
    4. then I published STARTING FORCE MOUNT;
    5. in this case, I get error identification control file.
    6. cold two days before all of the restored files backup
    6 then I run database recovery using backup controlfile until cancel;
    7. I'm issuing select * from emp; I get error
    select * from EMP
    * ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
    my QUESTION IS

    After that cold backup is complete, I created the table emp...
    during the restoration of old back "there is no emp table"

    * - Then I can retrieve table emp? -If Yes, please explain about this... *.


    Note: REF - LINK https://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=11056341#11056341

    -Link above says what I did? In this thread, I ask you to concept and logic...

    Please, consider NOT like ' * DOUBLE. "

    Not sure why you're confusing this issue? In your other thread, you applied a backup who had two days and there is no evidence that you apply to this log file to archive that had the table create in it. So if you have not restored this log file to archive who had your create table command, it will not be recovered. The most important for you to understand, it's that you have to have the newspaper the point for which you want to retrieve other archiving your recovery will not be able to move forward.

  • Backup and restore will not format disk

    I try to use Backup and Restore. When I click on the back of the files, I get a pop-up box that asks me to format the drive. After clicking on the Format, the following pop up box says unsuccessful Format. Sometimes, he also disk write-protected. I use Vista Home Premium and using an optical DVD +/-RW drive. I was unable to find anything on it. Has anyone else had this problem? What I can do. I check all the settings I can. Thanks for any help.

    Would you consider investing in an external USB drive and use it as your backup media.  This will work part-time full support until CD as the only hold about 700 MB of data and your hard drive is perhaps in a fit of 250 GB, what amounts to a large number of CD on current prices an external drive will pay for itself within a very short time and you are mucking around with several CD

    He needs that a defective CD or an unexpected shutdown to occur and you may lose all your backup met before this type of failure.  If you must use the CD then just use them to backup your important data.  If you need to perform a full restore, it may be faster in the long term to perform a recovery operation by using your installation media rather than feeding in a multitude of CD.

    One thing that I met, if you buy the CD on the main roads, is that, if they are not stored properly, at home or in a store, the last few CD inside tend to stick to the neighbor CD, which is not a good thing.

    My personal choice is to use a third-party imaging software to back up the entire partition or drive.  I save on a different hard drive installed.  You can use the external hard drive, I tried to sell you.  The entire backup (40 GB) takes about 10 minutes, with a restoration taking around the same time.  I double save my data more valuable, as well, of other external media, like USB, DVD, etc.

  • Windows backup and restore inefficiency

    I use Windows Backup and Restore to backup personal files from my desktop Win 7 to an external HD. Then, from there, I use Windows Backup and Restore to "restore" my files to backup data to a second location, my laptop.

    It works fine but there is what appears to be a huge inefficiency as part of the restoration of this process: When Restore detects a file on my laptop to a previous restoration with the same name in the form of the new backup file to restore, it offers only two options: overwrite the saved old file with the new backup file , or jump and don't write anything.

    There is no reference to a third option: overwrite old files if and only if the new files with the same name have a date-time later.

    If I do regular backups, it should expect that most of the files in the backup of the former will have not changed in the new backup. But if I choose the option to NOT overwrite the old files of the same name, old file of the same thing, but even with the new dates and times get skipped also and not are not updated. (Given that the choice of the screen jumps to for each of hundreds or thousands of files with the same name in two backups, I check the little box to make the same choice for ALL these cases, rather than manually examining each instance.)

    So if I select the option to change the value nothing, backup and restore is worthless because newly saved files with a more late date-time than in the previous backup will be not updated in the restoration. If I decide to choose to overwrite the previous version of the file was changed or not since the last 'restore' (which is what I do), then use of time and energy of the restore process is increased enormously.

    Y at - it a setting I'm missing that would restore process has replaced the files of previous restorations if and only if the new version of the files have a date-time later?

    If not, this very simple option can be added to backup windows and restore utility?

    If you want this level of options, use a third-party backup application.

    Or wait in the hope that the next version of win may have the added options

  • Satellite P750/P755 - backup and restore Windows 7

    Hello

    My hard drive is about to fail on my Windows 7 Satellite P750; I get warnings of impending failure for a month now. I bought a hard drive again, and he's ready to go, but I am unable to create a backup and restore point. I get an error message 0 x 81000037: "snapshots of files cannot be read.

    Let me give you a part of the history of my machine before we get to the question. Windows 7 is pre-installed on this machine. A year ago, I created a new partition and installed Linux. Linux then took over the responsibilities of the boot. A couple of weeks, I deleted the Linux partition. This gave me a problem because the computer could not start. Fortunately I had recently created a return upwards and the restore point, and during the process, I was asked if I wanted to create a Windows 7 Home Premium repair disc. I could use this CD to access a command line tool that makes the new bootable machine.

    However, I have more a hidden on my machine boot partition (at least according to the disk management snap-in I'm not). Now, I get the above error when I try to create a new backup and restore point. I don't have a copy of the previous backup and restore point (I deleted it to make room for a new).

    From my research, apparently, one of the possible causes of the error 0 x 81000037 is related to the size of the hidden boot partition. Because I do not have the hidden boot partition I fear this could be the cause.

    There are other possible causes of this error. For example, a virus that the antivirus refuses to give access to during the back up and restore the partition, and junction points in to save readers who are the mounted volumes. I ran a full scan on my computer and cannot find any threats. I checked my junction points (which are a bit) and none are mounted drives.

    This brings me to suspect that the lack of a boot partition is the problem. I saw in the forums of some suggest it is better to back up all my data in the traditional way (already done, since you ask), install the new drive to hard and then reinstall Windows 7.

    So eventually, we get to my question!

    Windows 7 is installed on my machine, I think that I don't have the disks to reinstall on a new hard drive. Is this correct? I am able to get a copy?

    To be honest, I wouldn't reinstall Windows on a hard disk again, rather than using a return to the top of the spirit and point of restoration. I have a LOT of programs and rubbish that have accumulated in it in the (almost) last 3 years.

    Thank you for your patience. If there are some details that might be useful, but I left out (I'm sure there is) please let me know.

    > I think Windows 7 is installed on my machine, that I don't have the disks to reinstall on a new hard drive. Is this correct? I am able to get a copy?

    You have not all discs because Toshiba provides clean recovery disc creator software which is always pre-installed on new laptop computers.
    This recovery disk tool or support of creator creates the recovery disk that can be used to recover the laptop.

    It was a big mistake not to create this disk, however, you have the possibility to order this disc here:

  • Can I download Windows XP Backup and Restore Wizard?

    When I bought my computer I did not receive the Windows XP disks.  I want to make a backup of the entire system on an external hard drive, as opposed to the individual file backup.  All the help files I've found say to insert the XP disc.  Then I found the Backup Wizard online and install it directly to my computer?

    Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

    Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

    If you are using XP Home Edition, you will need to install the XP Backup utility yourself and here are some instructions on how to do it.

    If you are not using XP Home and XP backup is to give you some grief, try to describe the issue in more detail.

    The backup program is automatically installed on XP Professional, but not on XP Home. If you have the genuine bootable XP Home installation CD, insert it into your system and navigate to this folder:

    \ValueAdd\MSFT\NTBACKUP

    Double-click the Ntbackup.msi file to start the installation.

    Here is a nice article from Microsoft which tell you all this:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=302894

    Here is another article that explains how to:

    http://www.winxptutor.com/Ntbackup.htm

    If you don't have an installation CD and need to download the Ntbackup.msi file, here is the link if you can download:
    http://www.winxptutor.com/Ntbackup.htm

    If you are using in relying on the built in NT backup to back up your system, it is the primitive technology (obviously - because you will be asked for a floppy disk).  If you have a disaster (even minor), you will have a big problem, trying to recovery your stuff, if you don't have a floppy drive.

    If you want to make a backup, it makes sense to use modern technology - and that the technology is not integrated into XP.

    There are many popular options for XP Backup and imaging software (s) of third parties.

    A people a popular seem to love East of Acronis.

    With this (free 30 day trial) you backup, you can make a bootable CD or bootable USB (which is modern, huh?) and use than disaster.

    They used to have a completely free version - maybe no more - just the trial, then you must buy it, but it is highly respected.

    It is so much more robust than the XP Backup, it's laughable.

    Many other options if you do a little research on Google...

    Grants menu of system restore points, with only the last good restore point and no option to select point of previous restoration or system image to restore from.
