Backup Exec 12.5 + VCB v1.5.u1 - Confusing concepts

Albert Widjaja's picture

Hello All,

My goal is to make the backup of VM faster since most of the VM is in the MD3000i_SAN VMFS and between the ESXi host is direct connection to the both ESXi1 and ESXi2

I’d like to get clarification in using VCB v1.5 update 1 ESXi VM backup with –hotadd method in vSphere 4 (All server is ESXi 4)

According to: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search...

Do I have to do the settings as follows:

Windows Server 2003 x64 Std. VM + VCB Framework deployed on the ESXi1 and ESXi2 local SATA Datastore, namely VCBProxy01 and VCBProxy02 [all only got 40 GB HD size]

Empty VM created on both ESXi1 and ESXi2 namely VCBProxy01(VCB-HELPER) and VCBProxy02 VCBProxy01(VCB-HELPER). [All without hard disk]

 

but then I got lost in the backup job selection list (see attachment) as I could not select which items to select and

and in the Media Set selection of which location to select as the backup directory ?

Any idea of how to do the hotadd method of multiple VM (online & offline) through command line please ?

Or should I select –SAN mode instead ?
