New Feature in Vinchin V7.0: Data Verification for VMware Backups

The new release of Vinchin Backup & Recovery 7.0 will be coming soon! With data verification module for VMware newly added into 7.0 version, you will be able to easily set up a virtual lab within the backup environment for the availability verification of VMware backup data, making sure its high recoverability for all kinds of application scenarios.

Data verification in Vinchin Backup & Recovery is base on instant recovery technology, which works by recovering VM backups to the virtual lab to verify if the restore VM can be power on without issues.

Isolated Virtual Lab

Vinchin Backup & Recovery 7.0 now allows VMware users to set up an isolated virtual lab in which it mirrors the production environment and communicates with Vinchin backup server and the real production network via a proxy appliance.

All verification operations will be perform in this virtual lab where data is keep from the production environment, and once the lab is delete, it takes all data with it. Thus, the lab has no effect on the primary production environment.

Previously, you can only back up your data without knowing its status, so sometimes the corrupt data can be copy to the backup server, yet nobody knows it. Now with the VMware backup validation, you can ensure the data availability for both backup and recovery.

Automatic Backup Verification

The automatic verification is time-base for backup jobs and the whole VM (s). It acquires the most recent time point information of each VM every time it is perform and restores the VM to the designated resource pools and folders to verify the data through 3 methods: ping, screenshots, and heartbeat.

3 layers of verification layers will process simultaneously when powering on the restored VM. If any one doesn’t respond, a task failure notice will appear.

You can set up a schedule to automate the backup verification in the lab so you don’t need to configure it the next time. This saves the trouble of re-configuration and reduces workload.

Instant Manual Verification

Besides automatic data verification, you can also manually configure the verification job for certain scenarios where a quick check on specific VMware backups is require. The verification unit is a single timepoint of the VM without regularly running by schedules, and you need to manually access vCenter server to power on the restored VM.

Once you stop the verification job, Vinchin backup system will automatically delete the verified VM, and uninstall NFS storage.

On-Hand Verification Reports

You can click the running task to check out its circumstance, and here you could see the job history where you can download the verification reports to the local system, or send it to the email that you set up under the admin icon. The report contains job success info, warnings that may cause the task or system fail, and job error messages.

By reading the report, you will learn why the job fails and come up with a solution shortly. The report aims to decrease your time and energy spent on finding out why. And it also shows a richer picture of your data.
