vRanger 5.0 – New features• Integrated Backup and Replication
• Simple job management• Simultaneously backup and replicate the same VM
• Cataloging – speed up restores by searching for files to restore• Launch file level restore from the search results!
• Linux FLR• Restore individual files from Linux virtual machines
• Support for NFS repositories• Store savepoints on NFS storage• Mount Data Domain appliances using NFS protocol
• LAN-free restore
vReplicator Integration• New Features
– Single UI for backup, restore and Replication– Email on success and failure– Pick Target VM to sync with from job creation– UI shows per task throughput– Resource Manager applies to backup, restore and replication– VM locking is internal to the vRanger service, external vzmutex can be turned off in
service config file.• Re-sync Improvements
– The following actions will NOT cause a re-sync• Upgrading vReplicator 3.0.3 to vRanger 5 • Restarting the vRanger service• Replication pass fails in the middle
vReplicator • AES-256 Encryption• 64-bit Platform Support• DPP Base• Shared Console with
vRanger
• 3 different license options
Catalog• Capturing the changed file set based on blocks that have changed.• Process is in parallel to the backup task• No guest credentials are needed for the source VM’s• The catalog data is stored into its own DB• Only indexes files that have been modified since the Full or last backup.• Catalog Data is purged when normal savepoint expires• Supports Windows guests
– All versions of windows with basic disks and MFT disks• No GPT support at this time
vRanger Pro 5 Catalog• Patent-pending• Efficient – created in
parallel to the backup• Fast – one-step
recovery using a single management console interface
• Seamless – VM/FLR and Object restore are automated from the saveset
Linux FLR• Supported File systems, EXT2,3, and 4, RiserFS.• Uses new Virtual Appliance to perform FLR• Linux FLR Tools are uploaded to the VA via SFTP• Restore Path
1. vRanger to VA via CIFS
2. VA to repository via repository protocol.
• VA restores files to a Windows box– Move files manually after restore
Installing VA for FLR on Linux• Download VA from OVF or Download vmdk file• Deploy from vCenter• Add IP and credentials in vRanger
Now you are able to perform FLR on Linux!
Repository Support• NFS
– Not using VMware’s VMFS/NFS, no need to setup NFS mounts on your hosts.– Does Support Windows to NFS
• We can backup from ESXi network and Fiber to NFS
– Compression and Encryption support– NFS share must have a sub folder
• FTP– Backup from ESXi network and Fiber to FTP– Compression and Encryption support
• Don’t forget the CIFS and SFTP
Other features• Change Block Tracking (CBT)
– Dramatically faster incremental & differential backups– Queries vStorage API
• Active Block Mapping (ABM)– Skip deleted data on Windows file systems – faster full, incremental & differential
backups– Patent-pending from Vizioncore– Queries Windows file system
• Object-Level Restore (OLR) for Microsoft Exchange– Requires Quest Recovery Manager for Exchange (RME)– First Agent-less OLR on Images
• Vizioncore VSS – 4.2.3 , 4.5 & 5.0– Free Download from Vizioncore.com Download Page
• Custom Backup Groups • AES-256 Encrypted Archives • Support of Thin Disk Provisioning
Performance Results: vRanger Pro• LAN Backups
– 4.5 with CBT: 47% faster– 4.5 with ABM: 49% faster– 4.5 with CBT & ABM: 57% faster
• Fiber Backups– 4.5 with CBT: 66% faster
• Restore: 90% faster– Empty blocks are no longer written
•
Align VMs to 64K partition boundaries
• Properly aligned VMs can deliver up to 15% increases in I/O performance and significantly improved VM throughput
• Aswell as speeding up backups
Fibre Backup & Fibre Restore
Multiple Locations
Recovery Manager for Exchange
Introducing Recovery Manager for Exchange (RME)
• Works with multiple backup formats
• ‘Discovery’ – advanced search capabilities
• ‘Recovery’ – granular recovery of Exchange objects
Making it possible – Vizioncore VSS• Fixes the native VMware VSS problems
– No more time-lag– Capabilities to flush log files– Provides application-consistent queiscing across all relevant
Windows platforms
The vR-RME Workflow
1: Install & configure Vizioncore VSS
2: (Backup)
3: File-Level Restore
4: RME to recover objects
A File Level Restore (FLR) is performed from vRanger
• Mounts the Exchange server at an image level• Need the Exch. directory or indiv. files (.edb, .stm, log)• Must restore to a read/write location
4. Use RME to restore• Add a new source storage – “offline Exchange database”
– select the appropriate.edb and .stm files– “hard repair” option un-checked
• After the new source storage has been successfully added, – use RME mailbox or message restore wizards
