Notes On Restore; Special Considerations - HP Data Protector A.06.11 Integration Manual

• ScriptPath is the full path of the integration scripts, for example,
Data_Protector_home\bin
• ConfigFile is an optional parameter for specifying a configuration file
with a name of your own. If this is omitted, the default configuration file
DPxen_config.py is used.
NOTE:
The restore mode specified in the configuration file must be suitable for the
filename format of the files in the folder. See the previous point.
6. Click Restore and check that the conditions for the restore, summarized in the
Start Restore Session panel, are correct.
7. When you are sure that the restore is correctly specified, click Finish to start the
restore.

Notes on restore

• It is possible to perform the restore without specifying a post-exec. In this case,
the .xva file is restored to the temporary backup folder only. You can then run
the script independently.
• After the restore has completed, the files in the temporary backup folder are not
deleted automatically. If you don't require them for any other purpose, it is
advisable to delete them.
• When you restore a virtual machine, its UUID changes.

Special considerations

• The online backup performs a snapshot of the virtual machine, but this operation
is not always allowed. For XenServer 5.0, at the time of writing, snapshots were
supported with VHD, Netapp, or EqualLogic storage repositories only. Any attempt
to perform an online backup of a virtual machine that uses a different storage
repository will fail and the error message, At least one sr used by
vmName does not support snapshot, will be displayed in the monitor. If
you are performing a backup of multiple virtual machines, only the virtual machines
that allow snapshot operation will be backed up.
For the latest snapshot support with your XenServer version, refer to the XenServer
documentation.
