Protecting virtual machines with both guest and image backup
You can protect a virtual machine using both guest backup and image backup. For
example, a daily guest backup to frequently protect selective files, and an infrequent or
on-demand full image backup protects the full machine. This scheme accommodates
scenarios with limited backup windows.
However, if you decide to use both methods simultaneously on one or more virtual
machines, complete the following configuration steps:
1. Open a command shell, and log in:
• If logging into a single-node server, log in to the server as admin.
• If logging into a multi-node server, log in to the utility node as admin.
2. Stop the MCS by typing:
dpnctl stop mcs
3. Open /usr/local/avamar/var/mc/server_data/prefs/mcserver.xml in a UNIX text
editor.
4. Locate the allow_duplicate_client_names preference.
5. Change the allow_duplicate_client_names preference setting to true.
For example:
<entry key="allow_duplicate_client_names" value="true" />
6. Save your changes.
7. Restart the MCS by typing:
dpnctl start mcs
