Click the applicable virtual machine, and select Unlock Virtual Machine from the context menu. |
The Plug‑in for VMware supports image-level and file-level backup methods:
• |
Full Backup: A Full Backup provides a backup of all allocated sectors on a virtual drive. Full Backups take longer to complete and consume more backup media. These backups serve as the base backup for future Incremental and Differential image-level backups. |
• |
Differential Backup: A Differential Backup provides a backup of disk sectors that have changed since the last Full Backup. Differential Backups speed up recovery since the plug-in is only required to restore two savesets. |
• |
Incremental Backup: An Incremental Backup provides a backup of disk sectors that have changed since the last Full, Differential, or Incremental Backup. Incremental Backups consume minimum storage space and are quicker to perform. However, data recovery can take more time depending on the number of savesets that the plug-in is required to restore. |
• |
Synthetic Full Backup: A Synthetic Full Backup includes all of the changes that have been made since the previous backup. The amount of time between backups can occur as often as every four hours (the default) or as often as every one hour. When combined with an initial full backup, they form a complete and current image of your data. Additionally, Synthetic Full Backups contain less data and therefore use less space in your storage location. This backup method is available only with QoreStor 7.1.2 and later. |
Only Full image-level backups are supported on virtual machines that do not use CBT.
NOTE: Only the Windows version of the Plug‑in for VMware supports file-level backups of virtual machines. The plug-in can only mount a virtual machine that uses the same version, or an earlier version, of the OS used by the backup proxy. For example, the plug-in cannot mount a Windows Server 2016 virtual machine that is located on a Windows Server 2012 backup proxy. |
The Plug‑in for VMware uses NetVault Plug-in for FileSystem (Plug-in for FileSystem) for file-level backups.
The Plug‑in for VMware supports the following types of file-level backups:
• |
Full Backup: A Full Backup provides a backup of all selected files and folders. Full Backups take longer to complete and consume more backup media. However, restores are faster since the plug-in is only required to restore a single saveset. Full Backups serve as the base backups for subsequent Incremental and Differential Backups |
• |
Differential Backup: A Differential Backup provides a backup of files that are new or have changed since the last Full Backup. Differential Backups speed up recovery since the plug-in is only required to restore two savesets. However, these backups consume more storage space and take more time to complete than the Incremental Backups. Differential Backups duplicate the data backed up by previous backups of the same type. |
• |
Incremental Backup: An Incremental Backup provides a backup of files that are new or have changed since the last Full or Incremental Backup. Incremental Backups consume minimum storage space and are quicker to perform. However, data recovery can take more time depending on the number of savesets that the plug-in is required to restore. |
The Plug‑in for VMware includes the following data in CBT-enabled backups and restores.
