  Saludos.

  Depende... If usas CIFS, Sera vidéoconférence compartida than compartas... The compartes Cuando y lo mapeas al VDR, you genera una vidéoconférence VMWAREDATARECOVERY.

  If lo haces por NFS, copiate el disco del VDR (*.vmdk) language. In case of disaster, seria crear a VDR nuevo y mapear el hard del Quebec a hecho copia.

• Backup Exec 12.5 and VCB - support requirements and agent

  I noticed there is now an agent, which you can purchase from Symantec that allows you to save as many guests on the particular host windows as you want without any agent (though law enforcement officers are still required).

  http://eval.Symantec.com/mktginfo/Enterprise/other_resources/b-solution_brief-bews12.5_agent_vmware_virtual_infrastructure_09-2008.en-us.PDF

  My question is this - from what I can find on the web, ESX 3.5 U3 does not support the latest integration modules Backup Exec (pre and post backup scripts etc.). So based on this, using Backup Exec 12.5 with VCB Symantec agent is needed giving you the GUI (no longer need to customize scripts for VM backups).

  Can someone please clarify this?

  The Agent gives you a GUI with VCB integration. You should always install VCB, just not the integration kit. You can always do it the "old school" way. The modules BE did never seem to work 100% anyway and you can the House push something pre and post if you do not want to pay for the agent.

  I think that VMware just stopped creating integration because the older kits kits are relatively stable. I tested with esx3.5u3/vc2.5u4 and have no problem. There is no update for VCB, so there is no update for the kits.

  I know that you have done this before, then you probably haven't this info, but I just posted a guide on the VI:OPS on VCB as a generic facility backup->http://viops.vmware.com/home/docs/DOC-1392

• For Symantec Backup Exec backup scripts

  Hello

  Does anyone know how to change the module of integration of Backup Exec for monolithic backups.  It's create sparse backups at this moment and identification is somewhat more complicated.

  Good instructions on how to restore the backup of the file partially allocated to another ESX host would be useful.

  Thank you very much

  Russell

  DOH!  Sorry, I gave you the location for VCB 1.1, it changed to 1.5. It should be added to the following:

  
  function AttachVMData(VMinfo, vmMoRef, createSnapshot, deleteSnapshot)

• Backup exec 2012, issue of mpio san backup and ALA

  We have a 4 TB File Server 2008, BONE is a physical server with hba to san volume where the files are located on.
  so far, our backup exec server has an hba double iscis, with only using a port in the San.
  in backup exec, I have created 8 jobs that run at the same time and creates 8 snapshots on the san to back up the file server.
  on the side of san when snapshots are created, I can see that snapshots are assigned to the different ethernet ports, eth0, eth1, eth2, eth3, etc..
  and start broadcasting our backup exec Server iscsi hba data, but since it is only using 1 connection her bottleneck through 1 Gbps.

  If I install mpio on the backup exec server and configure the ports and mpio on the hba settings, when the san creates snapshots, the TI separate backups between the two connections of 1 GB on the hba iscis on the backup exec Server?

  what I have to do all the other configurations on the San or switch layer2 (48 1 Gbps connections) that we use for our San?
  I read somewhere that you would have to do something on the switch if you did 'aggregation of links' or 'bonding' but that mpio is completely different, and I wouldn't have to do something for her.

  any comments would be appreciated.

  Hello

  Re: Collage/circuits only is not supported by the MS. iSCSI initiator  It's in the guide to iSCSi Ms.

  RE: iSCSI hba.   What is a Broadcom iSCSI unloading mode or Qlogic iSCSI HBA?

  So once you configure the other port on the DRUNK to be on the same SAN subnet, you can use MPIO.

  You should already have installed the EQL HIT the DRINK server, is that correct?     If so, then run the Remote Setup Wizard in the Equallogic program folder.   There is an option "configure mpio.   Game to use only the iSCSI subnet, and you will see a checkbox for MPIO enabled shadow copy.  Which is enabled by default.

  Kind regards

• Help - DR4000 and Symantec Backup Exec 2012

  We strive to set up a DR4000 with Symantec Backup Exec 2012 VRay Edition.

  DR4000 firmware is 1.0.1.1

  I created a new container and all NFS and CIFS permissions without restrictions. (Free access)

  When I go to add a new drive according to the storage location to BE, everything goes OK until the BE trying to access the share location when I get an authentication error.  He seems to BE trying to gain access to the share using the default service account, (which the DR4000 does not of course).

  I am a little confused because I thought that if it's full, permissions are enabled on the actions of DR4000, then it does not matter which account is used.

  There is also no documentation on how to implement the DR4000 and BE with storage devices open that apparently two support, but all the examples I've seen ignores OSD and uses just a disk path leaves ordinary.

  We are stuck with shiny new Dell and DR4000 backup server and no way to use them.

  If anyone can help?

  Ok.  Problem solved.  I disconnected the DR4000 of the field, it still wouldn't connect.  I joined it to the domain, and then BE could access the share OK.  I don't know why it did not work before.  A note, why you cannot join the DR4000 to the domain by using the domain administrator account?  You must use another account with domain administrator rights.

• Backup Exec and instant / add disk space

  I use Backup Exec to make full VM backups

  After the backup, I can see a snapshot to the virtual machine in the Snapshot Manager

  I deleted all the snapshots of the virtual machine and stop the virtual machine.

  At this point providing drive area is grayed out and e/s can not add disk space on the existing drive

  I don't see that there is a-000001, 000002 vmdk still kicking around in the virtual machine folder

  (a) is it safe to delete the 00001 and 0002?

  (b) any idea how to prevent the creation of the Snapshot Backup Exec files

  Thank you

  Steve

  It is a VM DC

  It turns out that Backup Exec was hung on the VM backup

  Once I canceled the backup, I was able to consolidate

  Thanks for your help

• Backup Exec 2010 R2 and Vsphere 4.1

  Good day all

  I'm quite puzzeled of Backup Exec 2010 r2 backup of Vsphere 4.1 VM with VM agent. In the image attached data store is thick accrued 1.14 TB LUN on the SAN that has 2 vm. The virtual machine is configured to thin configured as you can see the storage capacity and put in service has about 400 GB discrepancy, but it's only when backups are like BE2010 instant process. Here are the best backup is to 400 GB, but free storage has not diminished, I expect short of space free on the LUNS but is still in treatment of the backup and servers are still in place.

  Can someone explain to me the instant treatment BE2010 and space to line up shots in a BE2010 perspective.

  The snapshot files will contain only the changes made to the virtual machine, while the backup is running.  When the backup starts, it takes a snapshot of the virtual machines, this snapshot blocks of virtual disk files 'main '.  New entries on the virtual disks will be written to the snapshot files, that is, they contain only the changes made to the virtual machine.  The backup task is then sure to read the 'core' virtual drives, knowing that they will not change and will be in the State of the virtual machine when the snapshot was taken.  Once the backup is complete, it will "remove" the snapshot, this 'merges' the changes in the files of 'snapshot' for 'main' virtual disk files

  If the 'snapshot' files will be as large as the amount of changes on the virtual disks while the snapshot is in place.  This has nothing to do with the amount of data backed up by Backup Exec as one reads in the virtual disk files 'main '.

  I guess that you expected the files 'snapshot' to increase the amount of data on the virtual disks and for Backup Exec read these files snashot.

  I hope that makes sense.

• Configuration of Backup Exec 12.5 and VCB with Windows 2008 64 bit

  Hello everyone

  Try to install the update of VMware Consolidated Backup 1.5 1 with Backup Exec 12.5 on a Windows 2008

  64-bit server.  Having a hard time getting the configuration to work.  When I try to do a restore via vCenter

  I don't get "VMware Converter not found"

  I installed Converter Stand Alone on the server, but I still get the same error.

  Some would please the VCB and Backup Exec 12.5 on a Windows 2008 Setup process

  64-bit server?

  Thanks in advance...

  Gerald S.

  Looks like you need to install vCentre Converter (the server vCentre himself) of what has been said.

  Please give points for any helpful answer.

• Backup Exec and VCB proxy server configuration

  Hello

  I am installing Backup Exec to back up my virtual machine on an ESX Server, but I get the following error:

  *Backup- VMVCB::ESX01VCGuestVm(DC)ha-datacenter(DC)vmserver03* 
  
  
  V-79-57344-38220 - Backup of the virtual machine 'server03' failed. VMware VCB framework reported the following error
  
  
   
  
  
  Error: Failed to open the disk: Cannot access a SAN/iSCSI LUN backing this virtual disk. (Hint: Option "-m ndb" swtiches vcbMounter to network base disk access if this is what you want.) 
  
  

  It's my setup. I have an ESX Server connected to a San. I store my images on the SAN. I have Backup Exec installed on our file server that is also attached to the SAN and try to use this server as my VCB proxy server. I have installed on my server BE VCB framework and the enterprise Converter 3.03. I have setup a temporary staging that the server can access to place its snapshots on.

  My BE\VCB proxy server cannot access the SAN LUN that holds the images. My understanding of the process is that of BE I navigate on the ESX Server and select the virtual machine, I want to backup, and because the ESX Server can access the SAN LUNS where VM images are stored throughout the process of alignment of the image and place in the temporary storage area so that BE can then throw tape should work.

  Can someone help to solve my problem?

  See you soon

  Yes, it is the intention of the VCB.  Take the resources needed to run the backup out of the host and on the VCB proxy server.  You can define VCB to use the 'LAN' mode which backs the service console of the virtual computer on the network, but it is slower and puts more pressure on the host.

  Make sure you carefully follow the VCB document.  There are some things you need to do on the proxy before presenting the LUN as cutting diskpart automount. If you don't there is a chance that the lun might get corrupted and your VM would go bye-bye.

• Backup exec 12.5 and rman

  Can anyone suggest what is the procedure of backup of a database 10g on windows using Backup exec 12.5? We use the flash recovery area and all the Archives of newspapers, flashback logs and backup games go? The system administrator wants to back up the complete directory of the flash recovery area. Would that be enough? Is that a backup of oracle home is necessary? Is there a required backup settings before saving files when the database is switched on, as put them in backup mode or etc.? All documentation discuss the safeguard measures, and what must be saved will be appreciated. Thank you.

  Fix. File system backups must not include data files, the controlfiles and redologs from the database.

• Easy way to monitor the Backup Exec 12.5 +.

  Someone at - he found a way to do this? We had to work at 11, but when we went, it seems that syamntec has changed the way it reports in its database.

  Can you give us more information about the way you are / have been followed by Backup Exec 11? As what extension of BB are / were you helps monitor the Backup Exec 11? In addition, details of the power failure; execution of the extension will fail at all, at some point, no matter what STDERR? And what version of BB you running now?

• Backup Exec 11 d cannot see Powervault ML6000

  Hello

  We just bought a Powervault ML6000 (ML6020) tape library and can not see using Backup Exec 11 d.

  Backup Exec is installed on two backup servers:

  PowerEdge 1650 running Windows 2003 R2.

  PowerEdge 750 running Windows 2003 R2.

  The ml6000 library is connected via cables FC to a MCData Fibre Channel switch. A San is also connected to the FC switch. We want the servers are backup using the SAN which is connected to the FC switch.

  I can access the ML6000 library via its web interface for backup servers.

  We would be able to see the ML6000 readers across the network? or do we have to connect to the server PowerEdger to the MCData switch with cables FC?

  Thank you

  
  

• Type of license for the use of Veritas Backup exec with the unit?

  Nobody knows the type of license (or order number) for the use of Veritas Backup exec with the unit?

  The customer is already using the product widely in their networks, which is the license includes?

  Thank you.

  HI -.

  We use Veritas for the backup device. You will need to contact your representative of Veritas for license information - it is not provided by Cisco. Since the unit running SQL (or MSDE 2000), you will need SQL Veritas agent to back up OPEN files. We do not use dirt, but only for the backup device before performing the upgrades.

• Orchestrator and integration

  I need to talk to a number of products of third party such as a CMDB, IPAM and DHCP product backup during the procurement process the orchestrator.  What is the best programming language to use? Assuming that I am uncomfortable or having people on my team fluent in java, python, vb.net, javascript and ruby, which is the best language?

  I wouldn't say THAT REST is necessarily "better", it's just that we prefer to use when possible. The plugin makes it pretty easy to use, and it's usually QUICK. When we moved to run external scripts using REST, we literally went from 3-5 minutes per call within 5 seconds in some cases.

  Our usual order will:

  1 REST (vCO plugin)

  2 SOAP (also vCO plugin, but a bit more difficult to use than the REST plugin)

  3 Powershell / shell scripts

  An API which gave us a specific disorder through vCO is XML - RPC. While it is a web API, we could not get that to work without running shell scripts, which kind of defeats the purpose.

  One of the most important factors: sometimes a single API will not expose the same functionality as other API. We have had cases where the REST API didn't expose as much as the SOAP API, even if both were available for the same product. Make sure you according to API you choose offers all the features you need, or you'll find yourself your integrations of rewriting later.
