Chapter 5: vmPRO Data Recovery

Recovering Virtual Machines

Quantum vmPRO User’s Guide 170

Create a staging area from which the vmPRO appliance can access

the VM

1. Create the staging area in which to place the VM by doing one of the following:

IfthevmPROappliancecanaccessthelocationtowhichyourestoredtheVM

Use the restore location as your staging area.

IfthevmPROappliancecannotaccessthelocationtowhichyourestoredtheVM

Create a staging area on a host other than your vmPRO appliance. You can create a staging area on

any Network Attached Storage (NAS) device that is accessible to both the third-party application and

the vmPRO appliance.

2. Ensure that the directory in which the VM is located is in the staging area, along with the following files:

Note:The VM's directory should have the same name as the VM.

File Description

<VMname>-flat.vmdk The full base disk image.

<VMname>-pancbt.vmdk If you use Changed Block Tracking (CBT), the file containing the

changed blocks since the last full disk image was written. You should

have the latest of these files for each flat file. See vSphere Changed

Block Tracking Support.

<VMname>-.vmx The VM's configuration file.

3. Add the staging area to the vmPRO appliance as additional storage to allow the RecoverVirtual

MachinesWizard to access the staging area. See Configuring NAS Targets for SmartMotion

Backups.

Recover a VM backed up with a third-party application

1. From the SmartMotionBackup menu, select Recover to display the RecoverVirtualMachines

Wizard.
