Applications installed in Windows or Linux Guest virtual machines that are not VSS-

compliant such as Lotus Domino, Oracle, SAP, DB2, etc cannot be properly quieisced using

the VMware or Backup Exec VSS Requestor/Provider. It is recommended that Backup Exec

Database or Application Agents be used inside of the Guest virtual machine to protect

these applications.

Alternatively, Backup Exec pre-post job scripts can be created and used in conjunction with

VMware’s VCB scripting to shut down these applications prior to backup.

4. How are Backup Exec 12.5 Database and Application Agents licensed in Guest

virtual machines?

Answer-

Existing Backup Exec Database and Application Agent licensing for physical systems also

applies to virtual environments. Please see the Licensing

section of this document for

specific information and examples.

5. Can other Backup Exec 12.5 Agents and Options be installed on a Guest virtual

machine running on an ESX 3.x server?

Answer-

Yes, all Backup Exec remote Agents and Options can be installed on the Guest virtual

server, assuming the guest OS is supported. Please see the Licensing

section of this

document for specific information and examples.

VirtualMachineRecovery

1. Do I have to recover the entire virtual machine?

Answer-

No, while backups of Guest virtual machines are done at full image-level of the entire Guest

virtual machine, restores can be done at multiple levels including:

• The entire Guest virtual machine including .vmdk files, .vmx files, .log files, etc

• Individual files and folders within a .vmdk file (Windows only)

2. How are individual files restored from within a .vmdk file?

Answer-

Backup Exec’s Granular Recovery Technology (GRT) allows the Agent for VMware Virtual

Infrastructure to catalog and open .vmdk files directly for restore purposes from within the

Backup Exec console. No separate utilities or consoles are required to do this.

3. How can I use GRT to recover individual files and folders directly to Guest virtual

machines?

Answer-

There are two possible methods for recovering individual files/folders directly to a Guest

virtual machine with Backup Exec’s GRT technology.
