7 Befre Yu Begin Refer t the fllwing sectins fr system and VM requirements that must be in place prir t installing and using VM Backup & Restre. AvePint s Testing Plicy and Envirnment Supprt Supprted Hardware AvePint is cmmitted t maintaining a hardware agnstic platfrm t ensure that DcAve perates n cmmn Windws file sharing and virtualizatin platfrms. T ensure that DcAve is hardware agnstic, AvePint tests hardware that is intended t supprt SharePint and DcAve infrastructure, strage targets, and hardware-based backup and recvery slutins, as supprted by AvePint s partnerships. AvePint directly integrates with the fllwing platfrms: any Net Share, IBM Strwize Family, FTP, Amazn S3, AT&T Synaptic, Drpbx, Bx, Caring Strage, Del DX Strage, EMC Centra, HDS Hitachi Cntent Platfrm, Rackspace Clud Files, TSM, Netwrk File System, and Windws Azure Strage. All ther hardware platfrms that supprt UNC addressable strage devices are supprted. *Nte: Mst f the hardware partnerships referenced in this guide are intended t make use f advanced functinality (such as snapsht mirrring, BLOB snapshts, indexing, lng-term strage, WORM strage, etc.), and are nt indicatins that any changes t the prduct are required fr basic supprt. In mst cases, hardware can be supprted with n change t the prduct. Supprted Backup and Recvery DcAve supprts BLOB backup strage accrding t the list f hardware platfrms abve. BLOB snapsht functinally, hwever, is currently nly supprted n OEM versins and NetApp hardware. DcAve supprts SQL cntent and Applicatin database backups via the SharePint Vlume Shadw Cpy Service (VSS) n all Windws and SQL server platfrms listed abve. DcAve als supprts snapsht-based SharePint VSS n all hardware listed abve where the hardware partner has certified supprt with Micrsft. DcAve supprts applicatin and cnfiguratin server backups fr all the supprted sftware envirnments listed abve.

Cnfiguratin In rder t use VM Backup & Restre, the DcAve 6 must be installed and cnfigured prperly. 7

8 Agents DcAve Agents are respnsible fr running DcAve jbs and interacting with the VMs. T back up and restre the VM n different types f hst servers, ensure that the DcAve Agents are prperly installed as fllws. ESX/ESXi and vcenter Agent Installatin Fr ESX/ESXi and vcenter hsts, the DcAve Agent must be installed in a separate server that can cmmunicate with the ESX/ESXi r vcenter thrugh a Web service. AvePint recmmends that the DcAve Agent is nt installed n the server intended t be backed up in rder t prevent an interruptin f Agent services while the backup ccurs. Figure 1: ESX/ESXi and vcenter Agent installatin. Hyper-V Agent Installatin Fr Hyper-V hsts, the DcAve Agent must be installed n the VM Hst Server B as a lcal Agent. The DcAve Manager can be installed at any server, as lng as the Manager server can cnnect the Agent server. If yu have ther Hyper-V VM hst server, the VM Agent needs t be installed at the specific Hyper-V VM hst server. Fr VMs n Hyper-V hst server that is in the failver cluster, DcAve Agent must be installed n each nde f the failver cluster. 8

The wrkspace shws explanatins fr the cntent f VM Backup & Restre that are used during the cnfiguratin f actins perfrmed in DcAve prducts. Cnfiguring Hst Prfile The hst prfile prvides the cnnectin t the hst server fr backing up and restring VM data managed by this hst server. In rder t perfrm a backup r restre jb t the VMs managed by the ESX/ESXi, vcenter, Hyper-V, r Hyper-V Cluster hst using VM Backup and Restre, yu need t first cnfigure ne r mre hst prfiles f the crrespnding hst type. Fr instructin n cnfiguring a hst prfile, refer t the DcAve 6 Cntrl Panel Reference Guide. Cnfiguring Devices and Setting Up Strage Plicies In rder t perfrm a backup jb using VM Backup & Restre, it is necessary t first cnfigure ne r mre physical devices and then set up a strage plicy. When perfrming a backup jb, VM Backup & Restre can write t Net Share r IBM Strwize Family. 15

16 *Nte: T perfrm successful VM Backup and VM Restre, the physical device cannt be created in the VMs yu are abut t back up and restre. *Nte: VM Backup and Restre nly supprts the strage plicies with a cncurrent strage device cnfigured. In additin, DcAve has the ability t treat multiple strage devices as a single lgical unit when saving backup data. This feature is especially useful fr very large backup plans, because many small drives can be cmbined. A lgical drive must be defined befre creating a backup plan. Fr instructins n defining devices and setting up strage plicies, refer t the DcAve 6 Cntrl Panel Reference Guide. *Nte: The perfrmance f the restre jb that restres the backup data stred in the Cncurrent strage device will be mre efficient. 16

17 Perfrming a Backup Yu can use the Plan Builder t create a plan fr perfrming a VM backup. There are tw methds yu can select fr Plan Builder t create a plan: Using Wizard Mde Using Frm Mde Overview f Backup Types When cnfiguring a backup plan, there are tw backup types yu can select t perfrm a backup jb: Full and Incremental. The Full ptin backs up all f the selected data each time a backup is perfrmed. This ptin requires the mst strage space because, depending upn the size f yur VM server, each backup file can be large. Unlike incremental backup, all full backup files are independent f ne anther and d nt have any dependencies n ther back up data files, hwever, because each f the backups is cmprehensive, full backup jbs take the lngest time t cmplete. The Incremental ptin backs up nly the data that has been updated since the last backup, drastically reducing the size f the backup files created. Incremental backups als reduce executin time, allwing fr shrter backup windws. It is imprtant t nte, hwever, that in rder t recver all f the mst recent VM data frm an incremental backup, all f the backup files must be available. Each incremental backup file is an imprtant piece f the whle VM server backup. If ne f these files is nt available, the full VM server backup cannt be restred. Fr example, the fllwing three cylinders represent three backups and they are perfrmed in this rder Full Backup, Incremental Backup, Incremental Backup: Figure 6: One Full backup fllwed by tw Incremental backups. 1. The first Incremental Backup backs up the newly-added data in the blue perid. 2. The secnd Incremental Backup backs up the newly-added data in the green perid. *Nte: The Hyper-V VMs des nt supprt Incremental backup. If yu select the Incremental backup, yu can chse whether r nt t perfrm a Full backup fr the Hyper-V VMs in the selected scpe. 17
