Prerequisites for backing up data with Plug-in Live Client for Windows

This topic documents any prerequisite procedures that must be followed, before performing a backup with the Plug-in Live Client.

The following limitations apply to backups performed with the Plug-in Live Client for Windows®:

•
Backup of Dynamic Disks is not supported.
•
Backup of Active Directory is not supported.
•
The Plug-in Live Client checks for the required VMware driver during a backup. If the required driver is not present, the backup job completes with warnings. If recovery to a VMDK Image is not intended, the VMware driver is not required and you can update the configuration file to disable the warning.
•
To update the configuration file, perform the following steps:
a
Locate and open the “nvdrw.cfg” file in a text editor.
This file is located in \\NetVault Backup\config\. If the file does not exist, you can create it.
b
Add the following section:
[VM Option]
CheckVmDriver=FALSE
c
Save and close the file.
•
To install the VMware device driver, perform the following steps:
a
Download the VMware drivers from the Quest website.
* 
NOTE: For VMDK Image recovery, only SCSI drivers are supported.
b
Copy the required device driver, for example, “vm_lsi_2008.inf,” to the physical machine.
c
To install the required device driver on the physical machine, locate the file on the physical machine.
d
Right-click it, and select Install from the menu.
e
When the Hardware Installation warning message is displayed, click Continue Anyway.
f
Reboot the system for the new settings to take effect.
•
If the space allocated for shadow copies on the volume is insufficient, the oldest persistent shadow copy may be lost when you perform a backup. For information about shadow copies and how they are implemented, see the MSDN Library page at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb968832(VS.85).aspx
•
For instructions on allocating space for shadow copies, see: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc786104.aspx

Verifying access to the Plug-in Server for use with Plug-in Live Client for Windows

Before using the Plug-in Live Client to perform active backups of a target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client, verify that the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client is bootable with Plug-in Offline Client, and that it is accessible to the Plug-in Server. This procedure is performed to ensure that the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client is accessible at restore time. Note the following:

•
Failure to perform this verification process may result in the inability to restore backups taken with the Plug-in Live Client.
•
You only need to perform this procedure once for a target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client, unless its networking hardware is changed later. If so, you must perform these procedures again.
•
This procedure must be performed for each NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client that is to be backed up with the Plug-in Live Client.
Part 1: Boot the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client with Plug-in Offline Client

Boot the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client with the Plug-in Offline Client to prepare it for the backup. To complete the boot routine, review all the steps in Booting a NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client with Plug-in Offline Client.

Part 2: Verify access to the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client
1
After you have booted the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client using Plug-in Offline Client, outlined in Booting a NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client with Plug-in Offline Client, access the NetVault Backup Server and start the NetVault Backup WebUI.
2
Access the NetVault Backup Backup window, and double-click the NetVault Backup Server — the system containing the Plug-in Server — to open it.
3
Open the Plug-in Server by double-clicking it.
