Using the file-level backup method

Performing file-level backups

1
In the Navigation pane, click Guided Configuration, and then on the NetVault Configuration Wizard page, click Create Backup Jobs.
2
In Job Name, specify a name for the job.
3
In the Selections list, select an existing Backup Selection Set, or complete the following steps to create a set.
a
Click Create New to open the NetVault Backup Selections page.
Hosts and Clusters Inventory View: Open the Datacenter, Cluster, Resource Pool, and other nodes to display the available virtual machines.
VMs and Templates View: Open the Datacenter and folder nodes to display the available virtual machines.
A folder is created in the Working Directory (set in the Configure dialog box). This folder is assigned the same name as the selected virtual machine
A Drives node is added to the selections tree. This node is displayed under selected virtual machine.
*NOTE: If the boot disk is not the first disk among the disks attached to a virtual machine when they are arranged in the controller:device order (that is, ide0:0, ide0:1, scsi0:0, scsi0:1, and so on), the mounting operation might fail for the virtual machine.
e
Open the Drives node to display the available drives. Select the drives, or open the nodes further to display the directory tree, and select the files and directories that you want to back up.
f
Click Save, and in the Create New Set dialog box, type a name for the set. Click Save to close the dialog box.

a
Click Create New to open the File System Plugin Backup Options page.
*IMPORTANT: On Windows, when you create a Backup Options Set for file-level backups, you must use the default set “Default Backup Options for 'File System' - VMware Plugin - Windows” as the template. If you use any other set as the template, the backup may fail.
You can stop and resume a job from the Job Status page. For more information, see the Dell NetVault Backup Plug-in for FileSystem User’s Guide.
c
Click Save, and in the Create New Set dialog box, type a name for the set.
6
To submit the job for scheduling, click Save & Submit. You can monitor the job progress from the Job Status page and view the logs from the View Logs page.

Additional notes

The plug-in creates a snapshot named “BKB_SNAP” for the virtual machine.
1
If nvvmwmount.exe is running, unmount the virtual machines that are currently mounted for browse or backup operations. Stop the NetVault Backup Service. This step is only applicable to 2.1.55 and earlier versions of the Plug‑in for VMware.
2
If the Working Directory contains the mount folder for the virtual machine, remove it.
3
If you were using an advanced transport mode, such as san or hotadd, navigate to the <system_drive>/windows/temp/vmware-system directory. If this directory contains any subdirectory named <VM_UUID>-<VMmoref>, delete it. Here <VM_UUID> is the UUID of the mounted virtual machine and VM_moref is an internal reference that the ESX or vCenter Server uses to see the virtual machine. To delete this folder, you may be required to set necessary permissions for the folder.
4
If you were using the hotadd transport mode, remove any disks of the target virtual machine (the virtual machine mounted for a backup) that were hotadded to the NetVault Backup Client Virtual Machine (the virtual machine where the Plug‑in for VMware is running). You can remove the disks from the vSphere Client for the virtual machine where the plug-in or NetVault Backup Client is running.
5
Go to the Snapshot Manager in vSphere Client, and remove the snapshot named BKB_SNAP, if it still exists. Wait for a few minutes (approximately 2 to 3 minutes) to allow any memory cache to be cleared before performing this step.
6
After removing the snapshot BKB_SNAP, VMware recommends that you create and delete a snapshot. You can create and delete snapshots from the Snapshot Manager window in vSphere Client. The server tries to consolidate the redo logs during this operation, and therefore, it may take a few minutes to complete. Delete the Consolidate Helper snapshot, if it exists.
