5.2.0 Additional Notes
5.2.1 Considerations for RDM Disks
The Plug-in for VMware handles the backup and restore of RDM disks as follows:
RDM Compatibility
Mode
VADP Backups and Restores
Physical
Compatibility Mode
The disk is not backed up. Warning messages are written
to the NVBU binary logs and job logs.
Virtual Compatibility
Mode (Independent
Disks)
The disk is not backed up. Warning messages are written
to the NVBU binary logs and job logs.
Virtual Compatibility
Mode
The disk is backed up, but the data can only be restored
to a flat file. Warning messages about the change in type
are written to the NVBU binary logs and job logs.
Optionally, you can omit the RDM disks in virtual
compatibility mode during a restore. To omit the disks,
edit the
vmware.cfg file, and set the value for
[Custom:RestoreRDMDisks] parameter to false.
