UNIX VM V-Storage Backup

HI All ,

 

I wan to configure the UNIX VM backup through V-Storage API , I am able to perform the full VMDK backup but incrmental backup is not working , I have gone trough the various links and found that I need to install the SYMCquiesce utility on my VM , but I am unable to find this package .

 

 

Following the below link

NBU Master Server : Windows 2008 R2 / NBU 7.0.1

 

NBU Media / Backup Host : Windows 2008 R2 / NBU 7.0.1

 

 

Regards ,

Rohit S Nayal

    SYMCquiesce is mentioned for the first time in the NBU 7.1 manual for VMware.

    The assumption is therefore that it did not exist in NBU 7.0. Also no mention of this utility in NBU 7.0 manual for VMware.

    If you click on "Show all" under Products on HOWTO70979, it shows NBU 7.5.

    You will have to upgrade...

    See this TN: http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO70979

     

    Copy the SYMCquiesce ISO image into the virtual machine's ESX datastore.

    On the installed NetBackup packages for Windows (master server and client), the ISO image is located in the following folder:

    \NetBackup\bin\goodies\vmware-quiesce

    Please tell us more how incremental backups didn't work. Failed with error? Could not select incrementals at VM recovery? How did you configured you policy and what happened? To share policy config, post output of "bppllist policy_name -L" command.

    Hello Rohit,

    mind that file level restore feature for linux started from NB 7.1, with several restrictions. Your master and media/backup host are still in 7.0.1.
