Lab GuidanceHOL-PRT-1671: “Can I do my own backups and restores?” Yes, yes you can. Learn howyou can implement the EMC Plugin for vRealize Automation for user level backup andfile level restores of their virtual machines.

In this lab you'll be backing up and restoring VMs provisioned via vRealize Automation,as a Cloud/Data Protection admin you'll be enabling data protection for new blueprints.Also you'll be running various level of restores: in-place, out of place, and file level

restore from VM image level backups.

Lab Module List:

• Module 1 - Tenant user backup and restore (30 minutes)• Module 2 - Tenant user backup and file level restore (30 minutes)• Module 3 - Cloud and Data Protection Admin operations (30 minutes)• Module 4 - Admin restore to an alternate location (30 minutes)

Backing up a newly provisioned VMwithin vRealize AutomationThe goal of this module is to allow you as a tenant user to perform your own backupsand restores of your virtual machines.

Getting Started

This module demonstrates the tenant's user ability to perform their own backup andrestore from the same vRealize Automation interface.

PLEASE NOTE: If you receive login, single-sign-on, or certificate errors whenyou start the lab, it probably means that the lab has not completed its startupprocess. Wait a few minutes and try again. If the issue persists, pleasecontact a proctor for assistance.

PLEASE NOTE #2: If you have problems typing in any of the requiredcommands throughout this lab, please use the Keyboard Cheat Sheet found inthe README.txt file on the desktop to Copy/Paste the correct commands.

For users with non-US Keyboards

NOTE: If you are using a device with non-US keyboard layout, you might find it difficultto enter CLI commands, user names and passwords throughout the modules in this lab.

The CLI commands, user names and passwords that needs to be entered, can be copiedand pasted from the file README.txt on the desktop. Alternatively, you can use theOn-Screen Keyboard.

On-Screen Keyboard

Another option for having issues with the keyboard is to use the On-Screen Keyboard.

To open the On-Screen Keyboard go to Start - All Programs - Accessories - Ease ofAccess - On-Screen Keyboard

Windows Activation prompt or Watermark

When you first start your lab, you may notice a watermark on the desktop indicatingthat Windows is not activated.

One of the major benefits of virtualization is that virtual machines can be moved andrun on any platform. The Hands-on Labs utilizes this benefit and we are able to run thelabs out of multiple datacenters. However, these datacenters may not have identicalprocessors, which triggers a Microsoft activation check through the Internet.

Rest assured, VMware and the Hands-on Labs are in full compliance with Microsoftlicensing requirements. The lab that you are using is a self-contained pod and does nothave full access to the Internet, which is required for Windows to verify the activation.

Without full access to the Internet, this automated process fails and you see thiswatermark.

This cosmetic issue has no effect on your lab. If you have any questions or concerns,please feel free to use the support made available to you either at VMworld in theHands-on Labs area, in your Expert-led Workshop, or online via the survey comments aswe are always looking for ways to improve your hands on lab experience.

Restore the VMIn this part of the module we'll now do a restore of the VM using the EMC Plugin forvRealize Automation. The cool part about this feature is it can bring down the VM priorto the restore and power it back up afterwards. This eliminates the requirement tocontact virtualization admins.

Lets do a Restore...

1. In vRealize Automation Click on Items2. Click once to focus on the hol-dev-NN VM (the one that was created in the

previous module)3. Select the Actions dropdown4. Select Restore data

Monitor the restore...

1. in vRealize Automation Click on Requests2. Click on Refresh until the status is Successful

Here is why the restore completed quickly:

• EMC Avamar Engineering worked with VMware to implement change blocktracking (CBT) for backup and restore of virtual machines. This allows Avamar toquery VMware on what blocks have changed since the last backup, also thesame for in-place restore.

• Avamar queried VMware using CBT and found a very small number of blockschanged.

• This meant Avamar did not need to restore the entire VM, only the changes madeduring the backup.

ConclusionAs you can see you're able to perform alternate location restores from within vRealizeAutomation. The innovation of the plugin is not only the ability to selectively choose thelocation, but also the VM is imported back into vRealize Automation and assigned backto the original owner.

ConclusionWhat have we learned in this lab:

1. In Module 1 you've seen how simple it was for a tenant user to perform their ownbackup and restore

2. In Module 2 we showed the ease of use of file level restore after performing aVMware image backup.

3. In Module 3 you were able to create a new blueprint for provisioning a VM withprotection.

4. In Module 4 We wrapped up the lab by performing an advanced out of placerestore.
