EnableHotAddTransportforallfoldersbydefault

Quantum vmPRO supports vSphere's HotAdd Transport feature. With HotAdd Transport, you can add

and remove SCSI virtual hard disks while your vmPRO appliance is running. SCSI HotAdd provides a

convenient method for transporting virtual disk data from guest virtual machines (VMs) directly to the

ESX/ESXi host on which they are running. HotAdd improves performance and provides a non-network-

based method of transferring data from the source VM to your vmPRO appliance for backup purposes.

Select this setting to enable HotAdd Transport for all folders within your vmPRO appliance.

Skipreadingofpagefileandswappartitionsduringbackup

For improved overall disk I/O savings during a SmartMotion backup, select this setting to enable

Progressive Optimization to skip reading blocks of data associated with temporary, transitional files

VMs.

Temporary and transitional files are not required for a full system restore, and so it is safe not to back up

these files.

AllowaSmartMotionbackuptorunevenifthesamepolicyisalreadyrunning

Select this setting to do the following:

l Start another scheduled SmartMotion backup of a policy, even if that same policy is currently running.

l Start another SmartMotion backup immediately after a long running backup – more than 24 hours –

has completed.

This method is not the preferred backup method, and is not enabled by default.

Disallowbackupswhenthereisnotenoughdatastorespaceforsnapshot

Select this option to enable the vmPRO appliance to display an alert and stop a backup when the

datastore is at a certain percentage of its total accessible capacity.
