• Install a Backup Exec Agent for Windows Systems (AWS) into the Guest virtual
machine and perform the restore like any other Backup Exec restore operation
• If there is no desire to install a Backup Exec AWS into the Guest virtual
machine just for restore purposes, files/folders can be redirected to be restored
to the local Backup Exec server and copied manually to the Guest virtual
machine using Windows Explorer
4. Does Backup Exec GRT work from tape and disk-based backups?
Answer-
Yes, both tape and disk-based backups are supported for GRT-enabled recoveries of
Windows Guest virtual machines. Tape-based backups will require the specific .vmdk file
will be automatically staged back to a temporary disk location by Backup Exec to recover
the individual files/folders from within it and then deleted after the restore completes.
5. How are entire Guest virtual machines recovered?
Answer-
VMware has provided a VCB restore interface via VMware Converter 3.02 (or later) for
backup applications to recover Guest virtual machines to use. Restores of Guest virtual
machines can be initiated from within the Backup Exec 12.5 console’s Restore view along
with your traditional physical system backups. With AVVI’s restore flexibility, Guest virtual
machines can be restored to several different locations including:
• Original locations on the ESX host using VMware Converter
• Alternate VMware ESX host and datastore using VMware Converter
• To any directory location (e.g. f:\temp) as standalone files without using VMware
Converter
6. What type of restore performance can I expect?
Answer-
Expect entire Guest virtual machine recoveries to take longer than a backup. VMware VCB
technology does not currently support Guest virtual machine restore over a SAN, even if
the Guest virtual machine was backed up over a SAN. Additionally, the restore process of
an entire Guest virtual machine to its original location must also be processed via VMware
Converter which can add additional time to the restore operation.
Licensing
1. How is Backup Exec 12.5 AVVI licensed?
Answer-
Backup Exec 12.5 AVVI is licensed simply on a per ESX server basis. There is no
“per CPU”
or “per Guest virtual machine” licenses required. Simply count the number of ESX servers
in the environment hosting Guest virtual machines that need to be protected.
