Vmware snapshot
We currently use NetBackup to backup our VMware servers. During the backup process NetBackup initiates a VMware level snapshot, I know these snapshots are quiesce enabled but was wondering if you knew if they were configured to snap shot the virtual machines memory?
Hello Arsalan,
Netbackup Vmware policy doesn't snapshot the virtual memory; here is a log example of an ESX host receiving a snapshot request from a Netbackup 7.5.0.6 media server:
[2014-02-02 21:49:38.996 F5949B90 verbose 'vm:/vmfs/volumes/5169f87c-c1161573-2e84-d4856447483a/SERVER1/SERVER1.vmx' opID=f9a5b764-53] Create snapshot request received: NBU_SNAPSHOT media_server 1391374178, Created by media_server on Sun Feb 02 21:49:38 2014, false, true
These last are the snapshot optionsSnapshot virtual machine memory - falseQuiesce guest file system - trueRegards
