HP Data Protector A.06.11 Support for VMware vStorage

Note
If the virtual machine *.vmx file is not restored (and an *.xml file is restored instead), you cannot
recover the virtual machine using the procedure described in the HP Data Protector integration
guide for VMware Virtual Infrastructure, Sybase, Network Node Manager, and Network Data
Management Protocol Server. In such a case, create a new virtual machine, upload the restored
virtual machine disks to the datastore, and add the disks to the newly-created virtual machine.
Finding information for restore
You can find information about backup objects in the Data Protector IDB, such as which backup
type and media were used, and which messages were displayed during the backup. To retrieve
this information, use the Data Protector GUI or CLI.
Using the Data Protector GUI
In the Internal Database context, expand Objects or Sessions.
If you expand Objects, backup objects are sorted according to virtual machines for which they
were created. For example, backup objects for the virtual machine /vm/mach1 from the
datacenter ELDatacentro are listed under /%2FEldatacentro/0/%2Fvm%2Fmach1.
If you expand Sessions, backup objects are sorted according to sessions in which they were
created. For example, backup objects created in the session 2010/08/15–7 are listed under
2010/08/15–7.
To view details on a backup object, right-click the backup object and click Properties.
