Adding a custom backup group

This feature lets you organize physical servers, Hyper-V® servers, or VMware® vCenter™ objects — VMs, hosts, and folders — into groups, which lets you create a backup job for only the selected nodes. This feature provides additional flexibility for creating backup jobs.

IMPORTANT: A backup group must contain only physical objects, only Hyper-V objects, or only VMware® objects. You cannot combine VMware, Hyper-V, and physical objects into a single backup group.
1
In the My Inventory view, select the VMware, Hyper-V, or Physical tab.
Click the Add Icon, and select Backup Group.
Expand the Backup Group panel in the Inventory pane. Right-click an empty spot, select Add, and then click Backup Group.
3
Enter a name for the Backup Group, and click to select the nodes to include in the group.
4
Click Add.

Configuring VSS tools for VMware VMs

VSS Tools are only available for VMware® VMs and do not apply to Hyper-V® VMs or physical machines.

There are two ways to configure VSS Tools: automatically and manually. The following topics describe the procedures for the two available methods of configuring VSS Tools with vRanger.

Configuring VSS tools using the automated method

In addition to the standard quiescing implementation using VMware® Tools, vRanger provides an optional method for application quiescing on VMware VMs. This optional method uses a small executable tool — vzShadow.exe — deployed to the source VM and is enabled by VMware Tools during quiescing. The vRanger VSS Tools must be deployed to each VM for which you need application-consistent backups. For more information, see Application consistency for virtual backups.

1
When viewing the My Inventory View, right-click the preferred VM, and select Configure VSS Tools.
2
When the Configure VSS Tools dialog box appears, enter the name and password for an account with administrative privileges on the VM, and click Next.
4
If preferred, select Perform application log truncation.
5
Click Configure, and click Next.
Creates the C:\Program Files\Quest\vRanger\VSS directory, and populate the directory with the vzShadow executable and supporting files.
Creates the C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Tools\backupscripts.d directory, and creates a freeze.bat file in that directory that contains the appropriate contents based on your selections.

To remove the vRanger VSS Tools and batch file from the source VM, complete the steps in the following procedure.

1
When viewing the My Inventory View, right-click the preferred VM, and select Configure VSS Tools.
2
When the Configure VSS Tools dialog box appears, enter the name and password for an account with administrative privileges on the VM, and click Next.
3
Click Remove.

Configuring a backup job

vRanger uses a wizard to guide you through the process of creating a backup job. Each page of the wizard is explained in more detail in the topics that follow.

To configure a backup job, complete the following tasks:
