你好所有的,

我们最近在两个地点部署了ESXi Nutanix cluster，地点“A”和地点“B”。我们已经建立了一个Nutanix保护域，并且正在将虚拟机从站点“B”复制到站点“a”。

我们需要将多个复制的虚拟机从站点“B”备份到磁带，并使用CommVault进行长期保留。在网站“A”。虽然我已经能够通过“手动”浏览数据存储，筛选。snapshot文件夹，并添加虚拟机(s)到库存来完成这一过程，我想知道这一过程是否可以自动化或甚至简化?

有谁知道。snapshot文件夹内的编号文件夹是否定期变化?如果没有，那么我可以用脚本实现自动化。



提前谢谢!

蒂姆

\nWe recently deployed ESXi Nutanix Clusters in 2 locations, site \"A\", and site \"B\". We have setup a Nutanix Protection Domain, and are replicating VM's from site \"B\" to \"A\".
\n
\nWe have a requirement to backup several replicated VM's from site \"B\", to tape, with CommVault for long term retention, at<\/u> site \"A\". While I have been able to accomplish this by \"manually\" browsing the datastore, and sifting through the .snapshot folder, and adding the VM(s) to inventory, I was wondering if this process could be automated or even simplified?
\n
\nDoes anyone know if the numbered folders inside the .snapshot folder change regularly? If they do not, then I could possibly automate with a script.

\nThanks in Advance!

CommVault本身就能做到，不是吗?

这意味着您将运行在Site B的虚拟机备份到Site B的commvault，然后您有一个commvault策略来将CVLT存储库复制到Site a以便保留

\nMeaning you backup a VM running at Site B to commvault in Site B, then you have a CommVault policy to replicate the CVLT repository to Site A for retention

嗨，Jon，谢谢你的回复。

我想你指的是媒体代理(库)之间的复制。虽然我没有尝试这样做，但我想我应该补充一下，站点A和站点B之间的数据链接目前太小，无法容纳增加的流量。事实上，我们在10月30日开始的(1)2TB+ VM的初始复制必须进行节流，剩下126天才能完成。

最初，我的计划只是备份从站点“B”到站点“A”的活动虚拟机，但很快这个想法也被放弃了。

如果有一种方法可以确认.snapshot文件夹内的编号文件夹没有改变，我的计划是在CommVault计划作业之前，编写脚本并安排数据存储浏览到该特定文件夹，并将其添加到库存中。然后从库存中移除另一项工作。

或者干脆让别人来做这些手工活。
\n
\nI assume you are referring to replication between Media Agents (Libraries). While I have not attempted this, I guess I should have added that the data link between Site \"A and Site \"B\" is currently too small to accomodate increased traffic. In fact, our initial replication of (1) 2TB+ VM, started on 10\/30 had to be throttled leaving 126 days left to complete.
\n
\nInitially my plan was just to backup live VM(s) from Site \"B\", over the wire to Site \"A\", but soon scrapped that idea as well.
\n
\nIf there is a way to confirm that the numbered folders within the .snapshot folder do not change, my plan was to script and schedule the datastore browse, to that specific folder, and add to inventory, just prior to the CommVault scheduled job. Then another job to remove from inventory.
\n
\nOr just assign someone the wonderful job of doing it all manually.","quoteUsername":"New2tanix","translations":{"Common":{"like":"Like","unlike":"Unlike"},"Forum":{"Quote":"Quote","Share":"Share"}}}">

你的建议工作，你必须做一个恢复工作，每次这将打破更改块跟踪工作。好的方面是commvault重复数据删除数据库应该可以正常使用。我的理解是，每次都是完整的备份。

快照文件夹总是在变，老实说，它不适合人类的眼睛。

作为dlink7建议，每次你做你想做的事情，它将是一个完整的VMware备份，你的CommVault目录将是一个噩梦，因为你备份的虚拟机的UUID每次都会改变。

dlink7，我关心的是这些问题?我运行的这些FULL备份的最长保留时间是1年。因此，除了试图弄清楚快照的备份过程外，还需要关注恢复时间。改变块等。不过，我很可能不需要还原整个VM，而需要还原文件。但这很难说。

顺便说一下，我已经通过将vmdk文件添加到另一个虚拟机来测试备份和恢复文件。
dlink7<\/a>, my concern was sort of along these lines? The longest retention for these FULL backups that I would run, would be for 1 year. So, aside from trying to figure out the backup process of of the snapshot, comes the concern at restore time. Changed blocks, etc. Most likely though, I would not have to restore the entire VM, rather files. But hard to say.
\n
\nBtw, I have tested the backup, and restore of files by adding the vmdk file to another VM.","quoteUsername":"New2tanix","translations":{"Common":{"like":"Like","unlike":"Unlike"},"Forum":{"Quote":"Quote","Share":"Share"}}}">
