Configure a backup set for DS-VDR
[VMware VADP backup sets only]
Once you must have at least one VMware ESX server and one DS-VDR Tool configured for this DS-System, you can configure a VMware VADP backup set for VDR.
- DS-Client key forwarding must be enabled, and the key(s) must be forwarded to DS-System.
- Note: For instructions on configuring DS-Clients to forward their encryption keys, see "Encryption Keys Tab" ("DS-System Configuration").
1. Right-Click on a VMware VADP backup set and select "Remote DS-VDR Configuration".
2. The "Remote DS-VDR Backup Set Configuration" wizard appears on its "Select Method and Tools" tab for the selected backup set.
- F1 Help: See "Remote DS-VDR Configuration - Select Method and Tools".
3. You must configure the following:
- Remote DS-VDR: Select the Remote DS-VDR Tool to use. The Tool must be installed and running on the remote server.
- vCenter / Host / Datacenter: Select the restore target(s) where you want to restore this backup set's Virtual Machine(s).
4. Click "Next". The "Remote DS-VDR Configuration" Wizard switches to its "Select Location" tab.
- F1 Help: See "Remote DS-VDR Configuration - Select Location".
- You must define the "Global" settings for Host / Folder / Datastore selections. These will apply to all Virtual Machines in the VM list, unless you make individual override selections.
- If there is more than one Virtual Machine, you can override the global setting by editing the corresponding VM's Host / Folder / Destination cell directly.
5. Click "Next". The "Remote DS-VDR Configuration" Wizard switches to its "Select Remote DS-VDR Options" tab.
- F1 Help: See "Remote DS-VDR Configuration - Select Remote DS-VDR Options".
- Set Restoration Time: Configure when a Remote DS-VDR restore is performed on this backup set.
- Power Option: You can configure any of the Virtual Machines to be powered on after successful restore.
6. Click "Finish" to save the configuration.
- Once a backup set is configured for Remote DS-VDR, it will run on schedule or the restore can be performed on-demand.
- Note: Each backup set configured for Remote DS-VDR reduces the Remote DS-VDR Count allocated to this DS-System by 1.
