Performing a full restore for VMware vApps

vRanger performs a full restore of a VMware vSphere® vApp(s)™ by using a savepoint created from a backup job. A savepoint contains point-in-time data of the vApp, including member VMs and vApp metadata. If you select an incremental savepoint from which to restore the server, a full savepoint is also restored, along with every incremental savepoint taken between the time of the full backup and the time of the selected incremental backup.

For information about performing a full restore from a savepoint manifest, see Restoring from manifest.

For more information, see Performing a full restore of a physical machine.

To perform a full restore for a vApp, complete the following tasks:

Starting the Restore Wizard

When restoring a server from a savepoint, the Restore Wizard guides you through the steps necessary to complete the restore.

3
In the Working Repository pane, select a savepoint to restore.
5
On the Job Information page, enter the Job Name and Job Description.
6
Click Next.

Selecting a destination

The Destination Selection page lets you configure the virtual data center (vDC) to which the VMware vSphere® vApp(s)™ savepoints are to be restored, and the name of the restored vApp.

2
In the Restore vApp under vDC drop-down list, select the virtual data center to which the vApp should be restored.
4
Click Next.

The Restore Storage Mapping page lets you configure the storage profile and, as needed, the datastore for each VM in the vAPP.

1
In the Storage Profile drop-down list, select the applicable storage profile.
Selecting a storage profile allows VMware® vCloud Director® to select the appropriate datastore automatically based on your storage profile settings.
2
To specify a datastore manually, select Any in the Storage Profile drop-down list, and select the applicable datastore in the Datastore drop-down list.
3
Click Next.

Selecting a restore data transport method

In vRanger, the transport determines how restore data is sent, and where the restore processing activity occurs; for more information, see VMware backup transport options. When configuring a restore job for a VMware® VM or VMware vSphere® vApp(s)™, the Restore Wizard uses the Automatic transport selection option by default to select the best transport method automatically at run-time. You can also configure the transport manually by using the Using Custom transport selection option.

NOTE: The Transport Selection page is not available when restoring a physical or Hyper-V® virtual server. When restoring physical servers and Hyper-V VMs, vRanger sends the data to restore over the network from the repository. Because this method is the only one available for transporting data for physical and Hyper-V servers, the Transport Selection page of the Restore Wizard does not display.

To select a restore data transport method for VMware machines, complete one of the following procedures:

The Restore Wizard includes an Automatic transport selection option, which lets vRanger select the best available method for your configuration. When determining the best transport, vRanger uses two key criteria:

The logic used to select a transport differs slightly based on whether vRanger is installed on a VM or on a physical server. For more information about the order in which vRanger checks for transport availability, see Transport selection order: VM backup.

1
On the Transport Selection page, select Automatic transport selection.
2
Click Next.

The Custom transport selection option lets you specify both where the actual restore processing activity occurs) and which transport to use. For more information, see VMware backup transport options.

1
On the Transport Selection page, select Custom transport selection.
If no VA is detected, click Configure Virtual Appliance to add a VA to vRanger. For more information about configuring the VA, see Understanding the vRanger virtual appliance (VA).
4
[Optional] If you want your LAN backups to be encrypted, select Use SSL encryption when transferring files over the LAN connection.
