• OVF deployed Linux VM
• First backup is full, then
incremental forever
• VM of file level restore
vSphere Infrastructure
• VSS support via VMware Tools
• Changed Block Tracking (CBT)
Destination Storage

What is new in VDR 2.0?
Email reporting
Suspend and resume backup jobs
Scheduled maintenance window
Performance improved
• De-dup compression speed
• Faster integrity checks
More resilient against transient network failures
Swap files are no longer included in backup
10. 10
Installation and Configuration
Add backup destination to the vDR appliance (max of 2)
• VMDK or RDM up to 1TB, CIFS up to 500GB
Minimum of 10 GB, recommend >50
GB
Best practice:
Use Thick Provision disk
Greyed out in this example
because .vmdk Location is NFS
11. 11
Installation and Configuration
Power on VDR appliance from vCenter
• Change root password – default is vmw@re
• Set static IP address (default is DHCP), DNS, Hostname
12. 12
Installation and Configuration
Appliance web interface
• Authentication is local to appliance (no AD, etc. integration)
• URL: https://<ip address>:5480
• 5480 port cannot be changed

Create Backup Job
Click on Backup tab
Click New
Backup Job Name
Best Practice:
Make it descriptive as
this name will appear
in reports, logs, etc.
16. 16
Create Backup Job
Add virtual machines
• You can also add containers – i.e. clusters, resource pools, etc.
• When VM is added to container, automatically included in job
Specify backup destination
17. 17
Create Backup Job
Define backup window
• VMs get backed up at any time during the backup window
Run Backup

Do not run

19. 19
Running a Backup Job
Backup will start if current time is during backup windows
You can manually initiate backup job at any time
Back up
everything Back up only the
VMs that have not
been backed up in
the past 24 hours
20. 20
Virtual Machine Restore
Select restore point
• Number of restore points depends on retention policy
(and how many times the backup job ran, so far)
Option to select
containers (cluster,
resource pool, etc.),
individual VM, or .vmdk
21. 21
Virtual Machine Restore
Various restore options
• Datastore, virtual disk node
• Rename VM, restore configuration
• NIC connected or disconnected
• VM powered on or off
22. 22
Virtual Machine Restore Rehearsal
Creates new VM from latest backup of selected VM
• NICs are disconnected
Verify backup
jobs are working
using Restore
Rehearsal from
Last Backup
23. 23
File Level Restore (FLR)
Windows and Linux clients located on .iso
• Copy client to local computer and run
Clients
24. 24
File Level Restore (Windows)
Select a restore point, mount, and browse
• Multiple restore points can be mounted simultaneously
• Unmount when finished
25. 25
File Level Restore (Windows)
Copy files and folders from backup to new location
Root mount point
name is restore
point date and time
26. 26
File Level Restore (Linux)
Be sure to use VdrFileRestore
• Wrapper script that includes vdrFileRestore
32-bit FUSE 2.5 or higher must be installed
• This error occurred on Debian-based system (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS)
• KB article 1035231 had the fix
Root mount point
name is restore
point date and time
Use this one
(upper-case V)
27. 27
File Level Restore (Windows and Linux)
Advanced Mode
• Access files from restore points from multiple virtual machines
• Command line option in Linux

Mode
28. 28
Email Reports – New in VDR 2.0
Configure Email Properties
• SMTP server, authentication
• Up to 10 To addresses

Destination Maintenance Schedule – New in VDR 2.0
Specify when maintenance operations should run
• Integrity Check – verify and maintain data integrity
• Reclaim – reclaim space by applying retention policy
• Recatalog – runs when integrity check finds inconsistency
Run maintenance
Do not run

Suspend Future Tasks – New in VDR 2.0
Suspend backup jobs individually
• Currently running tasks are not affected

Dedup Performance Improvements – New in VDR 2.0
• New compression algorithm
• More efficient IO
Deduplication

33. 33
Tips, Tricks and Details
Understand your organization’s retention needs
Thoroughly review release notes and documentation
Start with a few VMs to establish standards, best practices –
then grow the environment
Test regularly (Restore Rehearsal from Last backup)
Keep plug-in version the same as VDR appliance version
Each backup job runs once in a 24-hour period
• Assuming backup window is open
34. 34
Tips, Tricks and Details
vSphere (ESX/ESXi) 4.0 and vCenter 4.0 and later supported
Each vCenter Server can support up to 10 VDR appliances
Each VDR appliance can support up to 100 VMs
VM hardware versions 4, 7 and 8 supported – avoid version 4
• Changed Block Tracking (CBT) not used with version 4
VM hardware
version
35. 35
Tips, Tricks and Details
Maximum of 8 VMs backed up simultaneously
Hot-add is used for up to 14 virtual disks (Ent, Ent+ only)
• System disk on SCSI 0:0
• 14 SCSI bus locations left for hot-add
If 8 VMs has >15 virtual disks, network backup is used
• Performance may be affected
Solution: Add 1 MB dummy disk to another vSCSI adapter
• Provides 14 additional SCSI bus locations (ex. SCSI 1:x)
36. 36
Tips, Tricks and Details
Use VMDK or RDM for destinations as performance behavior is
well-understood and consistent
• CIFS performance varies across CIFS providers
Backup similar VMs to same destination for best de-duplication
• VMs do not have to be part of the same backup job
De-duplication is at block level, not file level
Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) is supported
• See VDR Administration Guide for details
• VSS on Microsoft’s TechNet site:
• http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee923636(v=WS.10).aspx
38. 38
Tips, Tricks and Details
First VM backup is full, the rest are incremental forever
Use static IP for appliance and add to DNS
When opening a VMware Support Request (SR), include logs
• http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1012282
View additional logs in client – hold shift key and click Logs

Tips, Tricks and Details
Archives of VMware Data Recovery backups
1. Select destination and unmount
2. Copy to tape, replicate to another site, etc.
3. Save a copy of the .iso, just in case
Destination can be mounted to new appliance – all data required for backup
jobs and restore is contained in the destination datastores
Unmount

„Linked-clone” technológia a virtuális adatközpontban
disk
VMDK
Template
• Provisions new VMs from a template or
clone existing VMs without replicating
the entire image
• Instead, links the images (clones) so that
common elements are stored only once
Overview
• Dramatically speeds up provisioning time
from >2 minutes to <5 seconds
• Reduces storage footprint (and cost) by
over 60%
