Chapter 5: vmPRO Data Recovery

Recovering Virtual Machines

Quantum vmPRO User’s Guide 159

With the iSCSI Export and Recovery feature, your vmPRO appliance works with the Windows iSCSI

Initiator to capture the VM's file system as a disk image. On the same Windows system from which the iSCSI

Initiator is running, you can mount the VM disk image (VMDK) to access the files within the VM.

Recovering Individual Files

Using the vmPRO SmartView feature, you can recover individual files within exported virtual machines

(VMs). This process is separate from the VM recovery process. You can access and recover individual files

within the exported VMs by mounting CIFS shares to your local system.

You can recover individual files from a mounted CIFS share only. This feature does not support NFS

shares. You can access the share from either Windows or Unix/Linux systems.

VSAN

vmPRO supports backing up virtual machines (VMs) from VSAN datastores to Network Attached

Storage (NAS) targets, as well as recovering VMs from the NAS targets back to VSAN datastores. In

addition, you can use your vmPRO appliance to back up VMs from one type of datastore (VSAN or non-

VSAN), and then recover VMs to the other type of datastore.

Example

A VM backed up from a VSAN datastore can be recovered to a non-VSAN datastore.

Note:In environments using VMware's Virtual SAN (VSAN) configuration, you must set up your

vmPRO appliance to manage the configuration through a vCenter server, rather than managing

individual ESX servers. See vmPRO Servers.

Recovering Virtual Machines

Use the vmPRO RecoverVirtualMachinesWizard to recover virtual machines (VMs).
