The following backup types are supported:
• |
Full Backup: A Full Backup provides a backup of all disk blocks on a virtual disk. Full Backups take longer to complete and consume more backup media. These backups serve as the base backup for future Incremental and Differential backups. |
• |
Differential Backup: A Differential Backup provides a backup of disk blocks that have changed since the last Full Backup. Differential Backups speed up recovery because the plug-in is only required to restore two savesets. |
• |
Incremental Backup: An Incremental Backup provides a backup of disk blocks that have changed since the last Full or Incremental Backup. Incremental Backups consume minimum storage space and are quicker to perform. However, data recovery can take more time depending on the number of savesets that the plug-in is required to restore. |
When employing Plug‑in for Red Hat Virtualization, it is important to consider the following caveats:
The following are some example backup sequences to offer you guidelines:
• |
Full Backups only: You can choose to perform only Full Backups if the backup size is small, backup window is not an issue, or storage media is not a constraint. In such scenarios, you can schedule Full Backups every night or every <n> hours depending on the frequency of updates. |
• |
Full and Incremental Backups: For quicker backups and minimum use of storage media, you can include Full and Incremental Backups in your strategy. For example, you can schedule Full Backups every Sunday and Incremental Backups every day or every <n> hours depending on the frequency of updates. |
• |
Full and Differential Backups: For quicker restores and reduced media usage, you can include Full and Differential Backups in your strategy. For example, you can schedule Full Backups every Sunday and Differential Backups every day or every <n> hours depending on the frequency of updates. |
Selecting an RHV host and patterns selects all of the VMs of the selected host. |
1 |
In the Navigation pane, click Create Backup Job. |

3 |
In the list of plug-ins on the NetVault Selections page, open RHV Plugin then the DataCenter, and then the cluster. Under the hosts, select the VMs that you want to back up. |
4 |
To add a pattern that you want to include in a backup, click Add include pattern. |
5 |
In the Enter include pattern dialog box, type the pattern that you want the plug-in to search for. |
8 |
To add a pattern that you want to exclude from a backup, click Add exclude pattern. |
9 |
In the Enter exclude pattern dialog box, type the pattern that you want the plug-in to search for using the same guidelines described previously for include patterns, and then click OK. |
