hello,
i'm starting with this software and i want to have your opinion to see if i have understand this product.
I have installed vcb on my backup server (backup exec 11)
If i want to save file i have to use the browse-start cmd and mount the vms that i want.
and for saving the entire vm i have to use the pre-backup cmd and launch it before i do the backup
is it correct ?
otherwise I don't understand the purpose of the post-backup cmd
thanks for reply
ps: sorry for my english
Thanks - if my advice was helpful, please let me know by marking my answer as correct/helpful.
As far as I can understand, the browse-start utility is meant for use with a GUI, whereas the pre-command and post-command utilities are meant to be used with, say, a scheduled backup task that doesn't make use of a GUI.
I use the pre-command utility to mount the VM disks I want to backup and then use the post-command utility to get rid of them once the backup has finished.
Does that help at all?
ok, it 's near that i have understand, juste one interogation
the pre-command seems to copy the vm to my backup proxy, the post command delete it ?
thanks !
Yup, the pre-command will arrange for a snapshot of the VM disks to be presented to your VCB proxy, allowing them to be backed-up.
The post-command will then delete them from the VCB proxy.
Hope that helps.
ok thanks for help !
