9. If there is no Agent on the ESX server, how does Backup Exec 12.5’s AVVI discover
ESX servers and Guest virtual machines?
Answer-
Backup Exec 12.5 AVVI is built to leverage the VMware VirtualCenter infrastructure if
present in an environment. All ESX host servers and their Guest virtual machines that an
installation of VirtualCenter is aware of can be automatically discovered by Backup Exec.
This makes setting up and configuring backups of large numbers of Guest virtual machines
easy regardless of which ESX server is currently hosting them. If VMware VirtualCenter is
not installed in an environment, simply provide the IP addresses’ of the ESX servers to
Backup Exec to discover the ESX servers and their Guest virtual machines.
10. Do I have to restore my entire Guest virtual machine to recover just an individual
file or folder?
Answer-
No, Backup Exec 12.5 AVVI allows for the recovery of individual files and folders from a
complete single-pass backup of a Windows Guest virtual machine using Backup Exec’s
Granular Recovery Technology (GRT). This means that a single backup can be done of a
Windows Guest virtual machine that allows two different ways to restore it at either the
individual file/folder level or complete virtual machine. Linux Guest virtual machines must
be recovered in their entirety at the .vmdk level.
11. What are the other main features of Backup Exec 12.5 AVVI?
Answer-
Backup Exec 12.5 Agent for VMware for Virtual Infrastructure includes a number of
features designed to solve the major problems affecting virtual machine backup and
recovery today including;
• Physical and virtual system protection from a single application
• Integrated support of VMware’s VCB technology
