Black data Network Lab 2019.12

About VMware vSphere backup has always been an issue of concern, teacher he also recommended many backup methods, such as third-party VEEAM BACKUP, due to version update problems, such as writing this document when VEEAM does not support vSphere 6.7U3 and 7.0RC version backup. Considering that many production environments use Qunhui storage, Mr. he introduced how to use Qunhui suite Active Backup for Business to back up vSphere. The test supports the latest vSphere 6.7 U3 version, which is not discussed because it is RC version 7.0 without production environment.

Teacher he thinks the deduplication function is very good, you can give it a try.

Step 1, confirm the version of Qunhui storage. "Black" Qunhui is not recommended in the production environment. Tip: there have been many cases of data loss (except for other unknown sources, except for the online upgrade of Heijianhui).

Step 2, Synology account is required to use Qunhui Suite Active Backup for Business, please register yourself.

Step 3, install Qunhui Suite Active Backup for Business in the center of the package.

Step 4, run the package after installing the Qunhui suite Active Backup for Business, and the main interface is shown in the figure.

Step 5, Gunhui suite Active Backup for Business supports multiple backups. This document discusses virtual machine backup. Note that if Gunhui suite Active Backup for Business is not upgraded, only vSphere backup is supported, and Hyper-V backup is supported after upgrade.

Step 6, enter information about the ESXi host or VC.

Step 7, VCSA 6.7 U3 version is added to this document.

Step 8, read out all the virtual machine information under VCSA.

Step 9, select the virtual machine to be backed up.

Step 10, select the backup directory and use Qunhui to store the local space.

Step 11, configure the backup task name and select the virtual machine.

Step 12, Qunhui Suite Active Backup for Business supports a variety of parameter settings, which can be selected according to the actual situation, indicating that some functions need to be installed separately on the virtual machine with Synology management tools (optional).

Step 13, support manual and scheduled backups without additional authorization.

Step 14, choose the backup retention policy. The more versions you retain, the more capacity you need.

Step 15, configure backup permissions.

Step 16, confirm that the backup parameters are correct.

Step 17, whether to back up immediately.

Step 18, start the backup.

Step 19, complete the backup.

Step 20, check the relevant information of the backup file through the network.

Step 21, pay attention to the specific deduplication function of Active Backup for Business itself, as shown in the figure shows the comparison of space size after batch backup of virtual machines.

Step 22, check the size of the storage directory space.

Step 23, select the virtual machine to be restored. There is little difference between the two methods after testing. Official explanation: restore to VMware immediately (quickly restart the virtual machine by directly mounting the backup image to improve the recovery time) Restore the entire virtual machine (restoring the entire virtual machine from the backup file to the most recent state or previous characteristic point in time will take more time and resources, but can provide the full IO performance of the hard disk).

Step 24, select the virtual machine.

Step 25, select the restore mode.

Step 26, specify the folder.

Step 27, select the hypervisor.

Step 28, NFS permission is required.

Step 29, select the network.

Step 30, determine to restore the parameters of the virtual machine. Since the virtual machine is currently used in the production environment, the application is not executed, and the overall operation of the restore is completed.

From the use point of view, Active Backup for Business operation is relatively simple, planning tasks and deduplication function is very good, the production environment has the use of Qunhui can try, and finally remind, "black" Qunhui is not recommended for production environment, let alone upgrade.
