File-level restore (FLR): Windows

To perform FLR from a Windows® VM, the VM must be a supported disk type. For more information, see Supported disk types.

FLR: Linux

Review the following information to understand the functions and limitations of the vRanger Linux® FLR feature.

•
Linux FLR requires the vRanger VA.
•
vRanger requires you to recover the Linux files to an intermediate Windows® machine. When you recover Linux files to a Windows machine, you lose the file permissions.
•
The source VM properties need to show the operating system (OS) type as Linux. If this feature is not configured properly, vRanger cannot identify the savepoint as a Linux VM.
•
For a list of supported file systems, see Supported disk types and file systems.

HotAdd disk requirements

When using the HotAdd transport, the following disk restrictions and requirements apply.

•
HotAdd only works on SCSI disks. IDE disks and vRDMs are not supported.
•
HotAdd cannot be used if the VMFS block size of the datastore containing the VM folder for the target VM does not match the VMFS block size of the datastore containing the vRanger VM. For example, if you back up a virtual disk on a datastore with 1 MB blocks, the proxy must also be on a datastore with 1 MB blocks.

Password security setting policy

Weak passwords compromise system security. When you create and update passwords in vRanger, follow as many of these guidelines as your environment allows:

•
A password should not include a significant portion of a user or account name. A password should be at least six characters long and should contain several characters from these categories:
▪
Uppercase letters in English — A to Z
▪
Lowercase letters in English — a to z
▪
Digits — 0 to 9
▪
Non-alphabetic characters — for example, $, !, #, %
