Hello,
I'm having a bunch of trouble with my existing VDR appliance when trying to do restores - it stopped at 0% on every task and failed with a variety of reasons. I tried logging into the console, but while I can use the root/vmw@re login at the web UI, I can't use it at the console. (root/changeme doesn't work either).
Anyway, I figured the easiest way to move forward was just to deploy a new appliance and let it catalog my existing backup stores. I'm reading the instructions which say:
- Choose a Add> Hard Disk.
- Choose Use an Existing Virtual Disk
- Browse to the data store and select the virtual disk which is connected to the older appliance as destination.
- Choose the SCSI address.
- Choose Finish.
However when I go to add an existing disk, I'm looking in my_nfs_mount/folder/VmWareDataRecovery, all I see is Backupstore.cat, Backupstore.cat.bak, a folder called BackupStore, and several numbered folders under it full of slab files.
What am I doing wrong? I just want to point my new appliance at my old backups so that I can restore.
Thanks!
