VDR restore seems to be failing when running 8 restores

Hi!

I have been using VDR for some customers now. When I am trying to restore VMs on DR site VDR appliance seems to be crashing when doing 8 restores at a time. But, when I do say 4 restores at a time I can restore all VMs no problem. Is there a way to limit number of simultaneous restores (actually would like to limit number of backups as well)?

Actually it shouldn't fail, since 8 jobs are the default setting and therefore should work.

However to answer your question, you can set "MaxBackupRestoreTasks=4" in the datarecovery.ini file.

see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1013175 (VMware Data Recovery datarecovery.ini options)

Even though it's not mentioned in the KB, AFAIK some of the settings were not available in the early versions of VDR.
