VDP Details

CBT also used during restore

Parallel operations

Back up maximum of eight VMs simultaneously

Avoid backups during maintenance window

Avoid integrity checks during maintenance window

Restores can be performed any time

VDP Details

Backing up VDP appliance not supported

Integrity checks

If interrupted, scheduled integrity checks resume (work is saved)

Manual integrity checks start over when interrupted (work is not saved)

VDP Details

Checkpoints and Rollback

Protective mechanism to avoid corruption

Unexpected shutdown/power off results in rollback

Backups after last validated checkpoint gone

Manually ran Integrity Check creates checkpoint

Recommendations


37/44

37

Recommendations

Add DNS host record prior to deployment

Right-size appliance at deployment

Latest version of VMware Tools

Select containers for backup

VMs added to container get backed up

However, selecting individual VM ensures it gets backed up ifmoved from one container to another

Recommendations


38/44

38

Recommendations

Monitor storage capacity closely

Capacity warning at 80%

Resolve issues at this point

Health check limit at 95%

Performance issues, but existing backups complete

New backup activities suspended

Server read-only limit 100%

No new data allowed

Recommendations


39/44

39

Recommendations

Perform Restore Rehearsals Frequently

Uncheck Restore to Original Location

VM is restored in powered off state

Manually disconnect from production vSwitch

Recommendations


40/44

40

Recommendations

Place VDP appliance close to protected VMs

VDP utilizes SCSI hot-add

Keep traffic of off network (e.g. WAN)
