vReplicator Integration• New Features
– Single UI for backup, restore and Replication– Email on success and failure– Pick Target VM to sync with from job creation– UI shows per task throughput– Resource Manager applies to backup, restore and replication– VM locking is internal to the vRanger service, external vzmutex can be turned off in
service config file.• Re-sync Improvements
– The following actions will NOT cause a re-sync• Upgrading vReplicator 3.0.3 to vRanger 5 • Restarting the vRanger service• Replication pass fails in the middle

Recovery Manager for Exchange
![Page 18: V ranger 5 headlines paulm feb11](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/558b35dad8b42ab62a8b4591/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Introducing Recovery Manager for Exchange (RME)
• Works with multiple backup formats
• ‘Discovery’ – advanced search capabilities
• ‘Recovery’ – granular recovery of Exchange objects
![Page 19: V ranger 5 headlines paulm feb11](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/558b35dad8b42ab62a8b4591/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Making it possible – Vizioncore VSS• Fixes the native VMware VSS problems
– No more time-lag– Capabilities to flush log files– Provides application-consistent queiscing across all relevant
Windows platforms
![Page 20: V ranger 5 headlines paulm feb11](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/558b35dad8b42ab62a8b4591/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The vR-RME Workflow
1: Install & configure Vizioncore VSS
2: (Backup)
3: File-Level Restore
4: RME to recover objects
![Page 21: V ranger 5 headlines paulm feb11](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/558b35dad8b42ab62a8b4591/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
A File Level Restore (FLR) is performed from vRanger
• Mounts the Exchange server at an image level• Need the Exch. directory or indiv. files (.edb, .stm, log)• Must restore to a read/write location
![Page 22: V ranger 5 headlines paulm feb11](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/558b35dad8b42ab62a8b4591/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
4. Use RME to restore• Add a new source storage – “offline Exchange database”
– select the appropriate.edb and .stm files– “hard repair” option un-checked
• After the new source storage has been successfully added, – use RME mailbox or message restore wizards
