Exporting data to a VMware Workstation virtual machine

In Rapid Recovery, you can export data to VMware Workstation by performing a one-time export or by establishing a continual export (for virtual standby). Complete the steps in the following procedures for the appropriate type of export.

Topics include:

Performing a one-time VMware Workstation export

Complete the steps in this procedure to perform a one-time export to VMware Workstation.

  1. In the Rapid Recovery Core Console, in the button bar, click the Restore drop-down menu, and then click VM Export.
    The Virtual Machine Export Wizard appears.
  2. In the wizard, from the Select VM Export Type page, select One-time Export and then click Next.
  3. On the Machines page, select the protected machine that you want to export, and then click Next.
  4. On the Recovery Points page, scroll through the list of recovery points if necessary, and select the recovery point that you want to use for the export. Then click Next.
  5. On the Destination page, in the Export a virtual machine to drop-down menu, select VMware Workstation.
  6. To export the VM to a local drive, in the VM location field, specify the path of the local folder in which to create the exported virtual machine. For example, enter E:\VirtualExports\. Then proceed to step 9.
  7. To export the VM to a network shared directory, enter the required information as described in the following table.
    Table 117: Network shared location parameters
    Option Description

    VM location

    Specify the path of the network shared directory in which to create the exported virtual machine. For example, enter \\ServerName\MySharedDirectory\VirtualExports\.  

    User name

    Enter the user name for an account that is registered on the target machine. The account must have read and write permissions to the network share.

    NOTE: Optionally, you can select credentials for a user in the Credentials Vault, or you can save credentials you add here to the vault. For more information, see Credentials Vault.

    Password Enter the password for the specified user account.
  8. Click Next.
  9. On the Virtual Machine Options page, enter the settings for the new virtual machine, as described in the following table.
    Table 118: Virtual machine parameters
    Option Description
    VM name

    Enter a name for the virtual machine being created; for example, VM-0A1B2C3D4.

    NOTE: The default name is the name of the source machine.

    Version Specify the version of VMware Workstation for the virtual machine.
    Amount of RAM Specify the amount of RAM, in megabytes, for the exported virtual machine to use.

    The minimum amount is 1024 MB and the maximum allowed by the application is 65536 MB. The maximum amount of memory usage is limited by the amount of RAM available to the host machine.

    Number of processors Enter the number of virtual CPUs you want for the exported virtual machine. The minimum is 1.
    Cores per processor Enter the number of cores to use for each processor. The minimum is 1.
  10. On the Volumes page, select the volumes to export (for example, C:\ and D:\), and then click Finish to close the wizard and start the export.

    NOTE: You can monitor the status and progress of the export by viewing the Virtual Standby or Events pages.

Setting up continual export to VMware Workstation

Complete the steps in this procedure to set up continual export to a VMware Workstation virtual machine (VM) using Rapid Recovery. This is also known as setting up virtual standby.

  1. In the Rapid Recovery Core Console, do one of the following:
    • From the Core Console, in the button bar, click the [Restore]Restore drop-down menu, and then select [VM Export]VM Export.
      1. In the Virtual Machine Export Wizard, select Continual export (virtual standby).
      2. Click Next.
    • From the Core Console, in the icon bar, click [Virtual Standby] (Virtual Standby).
      • On the Virtual Standby page, click Add to launch the Virtual Machine Export Wizard.
  2. On the Machines page of the Virtual Machine Export Wizard, select the protected machine that you want to export, and then click Next.
  3. On the Destination page, in the Export a virtual machine to drop-down menu, select VMware Workstation.
  4. To set up continual export to a local drive, in the VM location field, specify the path of the local folder in which to create the exported virtual machine. For example, enter E:\VirtualExports\. Then proceed to step 9.
  5. To set up continual export to a network shared directory, enter the required information as described in the following table.
    Table 119: Network shared location parameters
    Option Description

    VM location

    Specify the path of the network shared directory in which to create the exported virtual machine. For example, enter \\ServerName\MySharedDirectory\VirtualExports\.  

    User name

    Enter the user name for an account that is registered on the target machine. The account must have read and write permissions to the network share.

    NOTE: Optionally, you can select credentials for a user in the Credentials Vault, or you can save credentials you add here to the vault. For more information, see Credentials Vault.

    Password Enter the password for the specified user account.
  6. Click Next.
  7. On the Virtual Machine Options page, enter the settings for the new virtual machine, as described in the following table.
    Table 120: Virtual machine parameters
    Option Description
    VM name

    Enter a name for the virtual machine being created; for example, VM-0A1B2C3D4.

    NOTE: The default name is the name of the source machine.

    Version Specify the version of VMware Workstation for the virtual machine.
    Amount of RAM Specify the amount of RAM, in megabytes, for the exported virtual machine to use.

    The minimum amount is 1024 MB and the maximum allowed by the application is 65536 MB. The maximum amount of memory usage is limited by the amount of RAM available to the host machine.

    Number of processors Enter the number of virtual CPUs you want for the exported virtual machine. The minimum is 1.
    Cores per processor Enter the number of cores to use for each processor. The minimum is 1.
    Perform initial one-time export Optionally, select to perform the virtual export immediately instead of after the next scheduled snapshot.

Exporting data to a Hyper-V virtual machine

In Rapid Recovery, you can export data to Hyper-V Export by performing a one-time export, or by establishing a continual export (for Virtual Standby).

Rapid Recovery supports first-generation Hyper-V export to the following hosts:

  • Windows 8
  • Windows 8.1
  • Windows 10 x64
  • Windows Server 2008
  • Windows Server 2008 R2
  • Windows Server 2012
  • Windows Server 2012 R2
  • Windows Server 2016

Rapid Recovery supports second-generation Hyper-V export to the following hosts:

  • Windows 8.1
  • Windows 10 x64
  • Windows Server 2012 R2
  • Windows Server 2016
  • Windows Server 2016

NOTE: Not all protected machines can be exported to Hyper-V second generation hosts.

Only protected machines with the following Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) operating systems support virtual export to Hyper-V second generation hosts:

  • Windows 8 (UEFI)
  • Windows 8.1 (UEFI)
  • Windows 10 (UEFI)
  • Windows Server 2012 (UEFI)
  • Windows Server 2012 R2 (UEFI)
  • Windows Server 2016  (UEFI)

NOTE: Hyper-V export to second-generation VM can fail if the Hyper-V host does not have enough RAM allocated to perform the export. In such cases, you will see an error message on the VM 

Complete the steps in the following procedures for the appropriate type of export.
