      <title>Storage Group Question - Template Storage</title>
      <link>https://communities.vmware.com/t5/App-Volumes/Storage-Group-Question-Template-Storage/m-p/1826160#M4112</link>
      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Apologies for creating another post on this.. i chose 'correct answer' on may last one which appears to not allow me any further posts there. ( which makes sense.. can i undo that ? ).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am setting up a Storage Group solely for the purpose of replicating my appstacks - for a 'live' backup.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I marked the destination LUN as not attachable in the manager .&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Yes.. i read the blog &lt;A href="https://blogs.vmware.com/consulting/2015/05/app-volumes-storage-migration-appstacks.html" title="https://blogs.vmware.com/consulting/2015/05/app-volumes-storage-migration-appstacks.html"&gt; App Volumes: Storage Migration for AppStacks - VMware Blogs&lt;/A&gt; - which vmware support loves to think has All the answers to every question i have about this :smileysilly:&amp;nbsp; ( perhaps i missed it ).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have Spread.. and Replicate AppStacks - Direct Storage Selection .&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I pick my current LUN and the Destination backup - to replicate to - LUN.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;My question is to "Template Storage" .&amp;nbsp; The wording to ME at least is not clear.&amp;nbsp; vmware documentation ( at least that i found ) wasnt clear enough for me.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is this Where i want to Replicate the Template TO ?.. Thus i keep the original location intact And replicate them to the storage i choose ?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;this isnt now putting my Templates in a&amp;nbsp; New location right ?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;thanks .&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;SPAN style="color: #666666; font-family: proxima-nova, Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;Sounds like that option is kinda Moot ?.. as i can just copy them quick if things get 'bad'.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;P&gt;Depends on how you look at it. The template disk basically is nothing more than just a VMDK with about 5 to 10 files on it which can easily be recreated. If you did not alter the appstack template you can very easily upload them again using the &lt;STRONG&gt;Configuration --&amp;gt; Storage --&amp;gt; Upload Preppackaged Volumes&lt;/STRONG&gt;. You can choose different locations to upload the templates (writables and appstacks) and also you can choose the default storage location.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;What your looking at here is the storage group. This is mostly used to synchronize appstacks between different storages. If you have multuiple datastores in the group you can select 1 of them as the default template location. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;When creating an appstack you can choose a datastore or a storage group. To be honest I don't see much difference in it. If you choose a datastore that is a member of a storage group it will eventually be synced to the other datastore by itself.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
