![]() Click test connection, if successful, click ok then finish.Check the box next to use vCenter for SSO authentication.If you’re running vCenter on a non-default port, change it here.It must follow all of the listed criteria and cannot be more than 9 characters, 9 exactly!

Select a datastore that has sufficient space then select a virtual disk format.Select a resource where to run the template and click next.Enter the name of the appliance and select a folder or datacenter in which to deploy it to. ![]() Browse to the downloaded OVA appliance file and click next.From Home, click on vCenter > Datacenter > Objects Tab > Actions Icon > Deploy OVF Template Download the appliance from vmware’s website.A disk presented to your esxi hosts that are of a large enough capacity to hold the dedupe store, OS, logs, checkpoints, etc.Take a look at the VDP Admin guide for more details on how to size, configure, etc. Since one appliance can only contain 1 disk, I will deploy 2 appliances, (1). To back up all windows VMs I configured a 900GB disks target and a 500GB disk for Linux. I had 1 VDR appliance that backed up both Windows and Linux VMs in 4.1, just with separate dedupe stores. Here are the steps I took to deploy my VDP appliance as well as migrate the restore points from VDR. Works with both the Windows and Linux appliance vCenter. ![]() Data is deduplicated across all backup jobs and utilizes change block tracking and VADP to lighten the load on your ESXi hosts and keeps that backup window much shorter, but only capturing the blocks that have changed. It comes in 2 flavors and depending on the flavor, you get your choice of duplication store sizes, 1/2 Tb, 1TB and 2TB in the Basic version and many more choices in the Advanced version. As before, it’s integrated with vCenter and can be managed via the vSphere web client. VDP is VMware’s newest VM backup and recovery solution that is supported for vSphere 5.1. Time to get these VMs backed up and the old restore points accessible. If someone could please post a script to do this.prompt for a jobname then a vmlist, removing and readding the folder/s afterwards it would be really appreciated.Looks like my new vSphere 5.1 cluster upgrade is coming along swimmingly. the simplest solutions are often the best. ![]() A menu item for a point in time backup of any vm within a job would be a great feature for a future release IMHO. This will be a good way to run a fast snap incremental backup before an upgrade, server patch etc.without the need for a new job (and associated time and space waste). Re-add your folder to the job and remove the explicitly defined vms, ready for your nightly backup. Add the individual vm or vms explicitly.Ħ. Take note of any exclusions you have in place (just in case veeam forgets)Ĥ. So the solution seems to be (and presumably could be scripted).Ģ. it has commenced with the first vm in the folder, snapshotted, processed, transferred oKb and is now onto number 2 vm etc I just tried excluding all disks from the folder to see if it would by pass all vms except the explicit one.but that is not working too well. It even remembered my exclusions when I re-added the folder after the single incremental backup finished. so I removed it from the job altogether and added the target vm as you suggested. Because I have some disk exclusions in the job already, I didn't have the option to exclude the folder. ![]()
