Auto-Export Tips

Review the following tips before using Auto-Export:

UnattendedBackups

The Auto-Export feature is convenient for unattended backups of remote, isolated, or fully automated

vSphere environments. In addition, this feature assists with scheduled backups for systems where VMs

are frequently moving between servers. When Auto-Export is enabled, the vmPRO appliance

recognizes when VMware moves VMs.

CapacityThresholdAlerts

Keep in Mind that automatic does not mean set-and-forget. Each VM that is backed up consumes space

on the target storage device. As the population of VMs grows, so do the storage requirements. To

monitor storage requirements, set the threshold at which you want to receive alerts regarding your

capacity. See Adding Licenses to a vmPRO Appliance.

LargeEnvironments

Use Auto-Export with caution, especially when enabling the feature in large environments. Excessive

additions of VMs during a backup may overburden the storage target, causing the backup to run longer

than anticipated. Account for any new VMs that may be automatically exported, typically due to a

vMotion/DRS operation that relocates VMs onto a vSphere host that is being managed by the vmPRO

appliance. Plan for available capacity in your backup target.

Modifying VM Settings from the vmPRO Appliance

You can modify virtual machine (VM) configuration settings from the VirtualMachines tab on the VMs

console. You can modify a single VM's configuration settings, or select multiple VMs for which to modify

these settings.

Modify VM configuration settings

1. On the vmPRO appliance GUI, click the VMs button to display the VMsconsole.

2. Click the VirtualMachines tab, as needed.

3. Select one VM, or multiple VMs, for which to modify configuration settings.

4. Click EditSelectedVMs to display the ConfigureVirtualMachine dialog box.
