Archiving VMware Data in Cloud Storage by Using the Java-based DPX Management Interface
Take the following steps to archive Agentless VMware data in cloud storage:
In the Java-based DPX Management Interface, open the Backup tab.
Click Agentless VMware in the task pane.
Under Job Tasks, click Define New Backup Job. The main window will display a SOURCES pane and a DESTINATIONS pane.
Expand the Enterprise, Node Groups, Group, etc. in the SOURCES pane until you reach the Agentless data that is to be backed up.
Similarly, expand the Enterprise, Node Groups, Group, etc. in the DESTINATIONS pane until you reach the storage server to which the data is to be saved.
Under Job Tasks, click Save Backup Job. The Save Job window opens.
Enter a name for the backup job and click OK.
Click Schedule Job. The Job Schedule window appears.
Enter the schedule for the archive job. Select Once, Hourly, Daily, Weekly, or Monthly. Enter a time and date for the Backup at fields.
Select Archive to Media in the Run selection box.
Enter repetition and retention in the Repeat Every and Retention fields.
Select the cloud provider that was created as a device cluster from the Device Cluster selection box.
Select the cloud pool that was created as a media pool from the Media selection box.
Click Apply.
Click OK.
Under Job Tasks, click Save Backup Job. The Save Job window opens. Click OK. Click Yes to overwrite the existing job.
Under Job Tasks, click Run and Monitor Backup Job. The Specify Retention Period window opens.
Enter a retention period in the Enter Retention Period Days field. Click OK.
(Optional): Follow the same steps in this task to create an incremental or differential archive to cloud job. The base archive to cloud job must exist prior to creating an incremental or differential archive to cloud job. Instead of selecting Archive to Media in the Run selection box, select Incremental Archive to Media or Differential Archive to Media.
Ensure that the Agentless VMware data is archived in the associated cloud storage.
