Selecting a node in the My Jobs view

You may also start the Backup Wizard from the Scheduled Jobs, On Demand Jobs, and Disabled Jobs node of the My Jobs view. As there should be no inventory object selected, the process is slightly different than when using the My Inventory View.

To select a node in the My Jobs view:
1
In the My Jobs view, click one of the following nodes to enable the Add drop-down menu:
2
Click the Add drop-down menu, and then click Backup Job.
3
On the Inventory Node Selection page, click the VMware, Hyper-V, Physical, or vCloud tab.
TIP: To back up a custom backup group, expand the Backup Groups pane, and then select the group of nodes displayed.
5
In the Job Name field, enter a name for the backup job.
6
[Optional] In the Job Description field, enter a description for the backup job.

Click Next.

Excluding VMs

Excluding VMs

 

NOTE: If you selected a node that includes multiple servers — such as a backup group or host — and multiple VMs, the next page in the Backup Wizard is the Virtual Machine Exclusion page. This page is followed by the Hard Disk Inclusion page. If you selected a single VM or are backing up physical servers, you see only the Hard Disk Inclusion page.

This page of the wizard only appears if you created a job for a node that includes multiple VMs, such as a host or backup group. On this page, you can select individual VMs to exclude from the backup job. For example, if you want to back up all but two of the VMs on a host, you can configure the backup job for the host node. You then use this page to select the two VMs you do not want to include in the job.

To exclude VMs:
1
In the Exclude column on the left, select the VMs you want to exclude from the backup job.
2
Click Next.

On the Virtual Machine Hard Disk Inclusion page, only the VMs included in the backup job appear in the Current Virtual Machines pane.

Including hard disks of physical machines or VMs

Backup > Configuring a backup job > Including hard disks of physical machines or VMs

Including hard disks of physical machines or VMs

The Hard Disk Inclusion page follows the Virtual Machine Exclusion page. If you selected a single VM or are backing up physical servers, you see only the Hard Disk Inclusion page.

The Machine Hard Disk Inclusion page creates a rule for vRanger to use when determining which disks to back up.

When you create a backup job for one server, the rule tells vRanger which disks to back up for that server. When you create a job for multiple servers, however, the rule determines which disks are backed up for every server.

When protecting a VM, the Current Virtual Machines pane lists the servers included in the backup job, based on your selections in the Excluding VMs procedure. The Include Hard Disks pane represents the maximum number of disks configured for any server in the job. For example, if you have a backup job with multiple single-disk servers and one server with six disks, the Include Hard Disks column shows six entries. Selecting “Hard Disk 1” through “Hard Disk 6” tells vRanger to back up every disk for each server.

If, in the preceding example, the six-disk server receives an extra disk, that disk is not going to be backed up, because only six disks are included in the rule. To allow for future growth, the Show all disk possibilities option lets you select all potential disks; selecting this option ensures that any disk added to a server in the future is included in the backup job.

To include hard disks of physical or VMs:
1
In the Include Hard Disks pane, select the disks that vRanger should include in the rule it applies to each server.

When including hard disks for VMs, the selection is not server-specific. It is global for all VM servers in this backup job. When including hard disks for physical machines, you can clear selected disks for the backup group. However, you cannot clear Disk 1 for the group.

2
[Optional] If you want to allow for additional disks in the future, select Show all disk possibilities, and select additional disks.

Selecting a repository

On the Repository Selection page of the wizard, you can select the repository to which the job should send the backup data. You can also add a repository from this page. For more information, see Adding a repository.

vRanger supports the following repository options for storing backup archives:

NetVault SmartDisk (NVSD): The Quest disk-based data-deduplication option which reduces storage costs with byte-level, variable-block-based software deduplication. For more information on NetVault SmartDisk, see http://quest.com/products/netvault-smartdisk/ or the Quest vRanger Integration Guide for Quest NetVault SmartDisk.
EMC Data Domain Boost (DDB): Integrating EMC Data Domain Boost (DD Boost) with vRanger is achieved by adding a Data Domain appliance running DD Boost to vRanger as a repository. Backups written to that repository are deduplicated according to your configuration.

For more information on EMC Data Domain Boost, see the Quest vRanger Integration Guide for EMC Data Domain Boost (DD Boost) or http://www.emc.com/data-protection/data-domain/data-domain-boost.htm.

Quest Rapid Data Access (RDA): Provided by the Quest DR Series appliances — purpose-built, disk backup appliances that use Quest deduplication technology to improve backup and recovery processes. For more information on Quest DR Series appliances, see http://quest.com/products/dr-series-disk-backup-appliances/ or the Quest vRanger Integration Guide for Quest DR Series Disk Backup Appliance.
