The following table describes how the plug-in handles Raw Device Mapping (RDM) disks.
The following are some example backup sequences to offer you guidelines:
• |
Full Backups only: You can choose to perform only Full Backups if the backup size is small, backup window is not an issue, or storage media is not a constraint. In such scenarios, you can schedule Full Backups every night or every N hours depending on the frequency of updates. |
• |
Full and Incremental Backups: For quicker backups and minimum use of storage media, you can include Full and Incremental Backups in your strategy. For example, you can schedule Full Backups every Sunday and Incremental Backups every day or every N hours depending on the frequency of updates. |
• |
Full and Differential Backups: For quicker restores and reduced media usage, you can include Full and Differential Backups in your strategy. For example, you can schedule Full Backups every Sunday and Differential Backups every day or every N hours depending on the frequency of updates. |
• |
Synthetic Full Backups and Instant Restore: As part of the continuous data protection (CDP) feature, you can schedule Synthetic Full Backups to occur every specific amount of time, such as daily, When you want to restore a backup, you can use the Instant Restore option to mount the backup to a temporary datastore on the QoreStor server within a few seconds. From here, you can view and confirm that it is the backup that you want to restore, and then migrate it to a permanent location. For more information, see Recovering a virtual machine using Instant Restore. |

To add a pattern that you want to include in a backup, right-click Inclusion List, and select Add VM pattern or Add vSphere TAG. |
• |
For a naming pattern, in the Enter Pattern dialog box, type the pattern that you want the plug-in to search for. NetVault uses the Portable Operating System Interface for Unix (POSIX) regular expression API for the inclusion and exclusion settings. Be aware that the inclusion and exclusion features do not support the use of spaces at the beginning or end of a virtual machine name pattern. |
• |
For a vSphere tag, in the Enter TAG dialog box, type a tag that exactly matches the vSphere tag that you want to include or exclude. |

To add a pattern that you want to exclude from a backup, right-click Exclusion List, and select Add VM pattern or Add vSphere TAG. |
• |
For a naming pattern, in the Enter Pattern dialog box, type the pattern that you want the plug-in to search for using the same guidelines described previously for include patterns, and then click OK. |
• |
For a vSphere TAG, in the Enter TAG dialog box, type the tag that exactly matches the vSphere tag that you want to exclude, and then click OK. |
