Selecting Storage

The Storage page allows you to configure the primary datastore which acts as the default selection for restored VM disks. You may also deselect individual disks, or map individual disks to a storage device other than the primary datastore.

a
In the Primary Datastore field, confirm the datastore listed, or click the browse icon and select a different datastore from the list.
b
To select a different datastore for a disk, click the browse button in the Target Datastore column entry for the disk and select the applicable datastore or DRS. Click OK.

Selecting a transport method

In vRanger, the transport determines how backup data is sent, and where the backup processing activity occurs; for more information, see VMware backup transport options. When configuring a backup job for a VMware® VM, the Backup Wizard, by default, uses the Automatic transport selection option to select the best transport method 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 backing up a physical or Hyper-V® virtual server. When backing up physical servers and Hyper-V VMs, vRanger sends the backup data over the network to 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 Backup Wizard does not display.

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

The Backup 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.
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).
2
Click Next.

The Custom transport selection option lets you specify both where the actual backup 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).

[Optional] If you want your LAN backups to be encrypted, select Use SSL encryption when transferring files over the LAN connection.
5
Click Next.

Configuring restore options

The Options Selection page displays the restore options available depending on the type of VM you want to restore.

1
On the Options Selection page, select from the following restore options:
Force overwrite: This option overwrites any existing disk or config files of the same name as those files in the destination host.
Force power on: This option turns on the VM after the restore.
Create cluster role for restored virtual machine: This option is for Hyper-V® VMs only. It attempts to add the VM as a cluster resource of the Hyper-V host parent cluster.
