Restoring data as a VMDK Image with Plug-in Live Client for Windows

The following topic details the procedures required to recover a Plug-in Live Client backup to a VMDK Image, which you can then attach to a VM created from a VMware. This process lets you convert the backup of a physical machine to a VM.

Plug-in Server must be installed on the NetVault Backup Server.

This procedure includes the steps outlined in the following topics:

•
Selecting data for a restore as a VMDK Image with Plug-in Live Client for Windows
•
Setting restore options for a restore as a VMDK Image with Plug-in Live Client for Windows
•
Finalizing and submitting the job for a restore as a VMDK Image with Plug-in Live Client for Windows
•
Creating the VM for a restore as a VMDK Image with Plug-in Live Client for Windows

Selecting data for a restore as a VMDK Image with Plug-in Live Client for Windows

1
In the Navigation pane of the NetVault Backup WebUI on the NetVault Backup Server, click Create Restore Job.
2
On the Create Restore Job — Choose Saveset page, select Plug-in Server from the Plugin Type list.
3
To filter the items displayed in the saveset table further, use the Client, Date, and Job ID lists.
The table displays the saveset name (job title and saveset ID), creation date and time, and size. By default, the list is sorted by creation date.
4
In the saveset table, locate the applicable client, and select the applicable item.
When you select a saveset, the following details are displayed in the Saveset Information area: Job ID, job title, server name, client name, plug-in name, saveset date and time, retirement setting, Incremental Backup or not, Archive or not, saveset size, and snapshot-based backup or not.
5
Click Next.
6
On the Create Selection Set page, locate each applicable disk, and click the box to its left to select it for a restore.
You can also expand each disk to view its contents. To open the applicable disk, double-click it. With a disk open, individual items can be selected for restore if desired. Selectable items for a restore consist of:
•
Master Boot Record and System Partition
•
Individual Partitions
 
* 
IMPORTANT: If restoring to a VMDK Image, select both Master Boot Record & System Partition and the individual partitions or the restore job fails.

Setting restore options for a restore as a VMDK Image with Plug-in Live Client for Windows

1
On the Create Selection Set page, click Edit Plugin Options, and select VMDK Images as the Restore Type.
This type of restore provides two additional options — either to restore the VMDK Image to a local directory of the NetVault Backup Server or to restore to a remote VMware ESX or VMware ESXi Server.
2
If you want to restore the VMDK Image to a local directory of the NetVault Backup Server, in the Local Target Directory box of the VMDK Recovery Options frame, enter a valid path to the location for storing recovered images.
•
Restore the VMDK Image to a local directory of the NetVault Backup Server.
From the VMDK Recovery Options, enter a valid path in the Local Target Directory field for storing the recovered images. If this field is left blank, the default is the NetVault Backup temp directory, “…/NetVault Backup/tmp”.
•
Restore the VMDK Image directly to a remote ESX or ESXi Server. This process is useful when there is no space on the local storage on the NetVault Backup Server machine or when users are using an ESX or ESXi Server.
a
From the VMDK Recovery Options, select Restore to Remote ESX Server.
b
Enter the values for ESX Host, Port, Username, Password, and Path.
•
ESX Host: Enter the host name of the IP address of the ESX or ESXi Server.
•
Port: Enter the remote console port on the ESX or ESXi Server.
•
Username: Enter the user name for logging in to the ESX or ESXi Server.
•
Password: Enter the password for the specified user name.
•
Path: Enter the directory on the ESX or ESXi Server where the VMDK files should be created. This path should always start with a datastore within square brackets: [datastore] dir. If the path specified does not exist, the plug-in cannot connect to the ESX or ESXi Server.

Finalizing and submitting the job for a restore as a VMDK Image with Plug-in Live Client for Windows

The final steps include setting additional options on the Schedule, Source Options, and Advanced Options pages, submitting the job, and monitoring the progress through the Job Status and View Logs pages. These pages and options are common to all NetVault Backup Plug-ins. For more information, see the Quest NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.

1
To save the settings, click Ok, and then click Next.
2
In Job Name, specify a name for the job if you do not want to use the default setting.
Assign a descriptive name that lets you easily identify the job when monitoring its progress. The job name can contain alphanumeric and non-alphanumeric characters, but it cannot include non-English characters. On Windows, there is no length restriction; however, a maximum of 40 characters is recommended.
3
To use the Plug-in Server components installed on the NetVault Backup Server, in the Target Client list, select the NetVault Backup Server from the list of machines
 
* 
TIP: You can also click Choose, and then locate and select the applicable client in the Choose the Target Client dialog box.
Restores of Plug-in Live Client backups must be routed through the NetVault Backup Server. This step sets the chosen machine as the intended target. This setting works in tandem with the Restore Name option to route the restore properly.
4
Use the Schedule and Advanced Options lists to configure any additional required options.
5
Click Save or Save & Submit, whichever is applicable.
You can monitor progress on the Job Status page and view the logs on the View Logs page. For more information, see the Quest NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.
