Known issues

Proprietary driver support: Plug-in Offline Client, which is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Rescue mode, includes support options that are limited by RHEL. However, you can install drivers on your own RescueCD/RescueUSB device to restore your environment.

DNBMR-620 (17898, VDG‑187)

Backing up Dynamic Disks is only supported by using Disk Raw Mode.

DNBMR-688 (17966, VDG‑252)

Restoring a GPT partition table to a larger disk results in a new partition that is the same size as the original: When a DR image is taken, the partition table is stored with it. At restore time, this partition is written to the new target disk and re-creates the original disk. If you restore to a disk that is larger than the original, the disk is partitioned to match the original size, which can result in unused disk space. For example, if you restore a 100GB image to a 200GB disk, it is partitioned for 100GB and leaves the extra space unused. You can use third-party partitioning tools, such as GNU Parted or PartitionMagic, to correct this issue.

DNBMR-689 (17967, VDG‑253)

Restarting a machine that was booted using VaultOS intermittently causes a General Protection Fault. If you restart the machine, it should boot normally.

DNBMR-948 (24236)

The plug-in does not support backup and restore jobs that use NetVault SmartDisk as a target.

DNBMR-1015

The progress of a backup or restore job is intermittently not displayed in some pages of the NetVault Backup web-based user interface (WebUI).

DNBMR-1095

The plug-in does not support RAS devices, including SmartDisk, QoreStor, and DR, as targets.

DNBMR-1218
