VMware Data Recovery 1.0.2

Duncan Epping · Sep 10, 2009 ·

VMware just released a brand new version of VMware Data Recovery.

Version 1.0.2
Build Number 188925
Release Date 2009/09/09

This releases fixes a couple of known issues:

  • Various Integrity Check Issues
    Under certain circumstances, integrity checks reported damaged restore points and cannot load session errors. For example, such problems might be reported if:

    • A combination of simultaneous overlapping backups and integrity checks are started.
    • A backup is stopped before completion because the backup window closes. In such a case, the deduplication store records transactions, but the closing of the backup window prevents recording the transaction to the catalog.

    When integrity checks failed in such cases, Data Recovery would mark restore points as damaged or report that the backup session could not be found. Data Recovery integrity check now handles these conditions properly, so these problems no longer occur.

  • Connections Using Alternate Ports not Supported
    By default, connections to vCenter Server use port 443. If vCenter Server is configured to use an alternate port, Data Recovery continued to attempt to connect using the default port. This caused the Data Recovery plug-in to report authentication failures when attempting to connect to the Data Recovery appliance. Alternate vCenter Server port configurations are now supported.
  • Multiple VMDKs with the Same Name not Handled Properly
    A virtual machine can have multiple VMDK files with the same name that are stored on different LUNs. In such a case, Data Recovery would only restore one of the disks. Data Recovery now restores all disks.

Latest Released Version: 1.0.1 | 07/09/09 | 176771

You can find the release notes here. I want to highlight the following resolved issue as it has been discussed by several bloggers(eric sloof, scott lowe):

Large Temporary Files Removed as Expected
Data Recovery modifies virtual machines’ vmdk files’ settings so a snapshot can be created for backup purposes. In the past, after the backup has been created, the vmdk file’s settings was sometimes left configured for snapshots even after the backup was complete. This led to these virtual machines being left in snapshot mode while accumulating snapshots that were undetected by vSphere Client. This process has been redesigned so that these temporary files are no longer be left behind. In previous versions of Data Recovery, this issue can be resolved by following the process described in the knowledge base article titled “Delete ddb.delete entries and snapshots left behind by Vmware Data Recovery”.
