Bhai, Can you also give some example scenarios where we can use ESXi Host Backups? like in which cases?
Hi Mohammed,
If you are doing ESXi patching or Networking modification if anything goes wrong we can restore the network configuration.
I hope this information will help you. If you have any questions please let me know.
Thanks
Hi! I've a question, the backup file contains data about network config, vmkernel ports and other things?? or just info about VM inventory and things related to that? Thank you very much! regards
Hi Alejandro,
Yes it's contains backup of network configuration like vswitch, Port group and VMkernel ports.
I hope this information will help you
@@virtualtrainee Thank you very much body!! Regards from argentina! 😉🤞
Great
Thanks for you comment.
Great Video, but let me ask you ... Does it have any configuration like vswitch/port group/ any configuration made in the host server itself ??
Or
Shall i need to do anything else if i reinstall esxi and restore backup config ??
Thanks in advance
Hi Mahmoud,
Yes, VSS and Port group configuration will be included in ESXi host backup. If you want to re-install the ESXi host and restore the backup make sure you have the same ESXi version.
Feel free to ask questions
Thanks
Excellent video!
Example: I made the backup, copied it to Local-datastore and storage. I needed to reinstall ESXi, how to restore the backup? After ESXi reinstall does it delete Local-datastore backup? And the backup that is in the storage, how to restore it after reinstalling ESXi? Thank you.
Hi Paulo,
Thanks for your feedback 🙂.
1. Let's example you have taken ESXi host backup for ESXi -7.0u3g. Please keep this backup on either file server or any other locations don't keep backup is in ESXi Datastore.
2. Yes backup will be deleted after reinstallation of ESXi host.
I hope this information will help you
Thanks
Excellent video, do it possible if the esxi host down and need to restore this backup on new esxi? regards
Hi Tekatie ,
If the ESXi host version and build number will be the same then you can restore the backup. It will only restore the configuration settings.
Thanks
Thanks for this video. My question is that if i have back of esxi today & tomorrow i mistakenly deleted my vm from disk will back up help to restore back my VM??
Hi,
This video is only for configuration backup. If you delete a virtual machine from the datastore it will not be restored.
Thanks
Thanks for clarification 👍
Great video! Do you have playlist how to practice vmware esxi setup , creating vms
Hi ,
Yes, I have created a playlist. Please check. If you have any questions please let me know.
Thanks
Thank you for this video. Can I backup and restore an ESXi on free license?
Hi Akinade ,
Yes ,It will work fine on Free Licence
Does this backup also contains the VM's? Or it is just the configuration of the Host?
Hi Bryan,
It will only contain configuration of the ESXi hos.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks
i have a question: how we can restore backup of host A(6.0 version) to Host B(7.0) in esxi server. Can you please help
Hi Keshav,
Is this stand alone host ? Or do you have a cluster. Please let me know.
Thanks
.
Can I use this method when upgrading from 6.7 to 7?
Hi ,
No it will not work because builder number will not matched. I will upload videos on how to recover older virson from newer version if goes anything wrong.
Thanks
interesting and clearly explained
Hi Slewins ,
Thanks for your feedback.
Question is how to recover heavy data of host machine? is there any way to take whole HOST machine backup?
Hi ,
If the Virtual Machine is running on the esxi host if you want to take backup of the virtual machine you need to use the backup environment. Because in this video I have only explained about ESXi host configuration backup. If you are using vCenter Server with vDS then you can export existing host profile backup and configure if there is any issue with ESXi host.
Hope this answer helps you.
Let me know if you have any query.
Thanks
Great video, could you please share what things contain in this backup ?
Hi Balal,
It will contain network information and virtual machine configuration files.
Note - Please don't use this as a full backup of any VM. It will not backup for the virtual machine disk
I hope the above information will be helpful for you.
Thanks
@@virtualtrainee Thanks
thank you nice info, Is the same backup file can we in other ESXi hosts like 8.0 or 6.5 ?
Hi,
Yes you can use the same process for ESXi 6.5 & 8.0.
If you will face any issue please let me know.
Thanks
@@virtualtrainee thank you sir, you mean 6.5 configuration file, we can use in 8.0.
Because I am migrating the VMs to a new server from the old server, without vcenter.
@@srikanthgadarada7785 I thought you were asking for the process of backup. if you will take backup of ESXi 6.5 it will not work on ESXi 8.0. The ESXi version as well as build number should be same then only it will work.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
@@virtualtrainee got it thankyou
how can use this backup on another host?
when i want to restore this backup on another host that say uuid different
Hi
Can you please elaborate on your problem? Are you restoring back up for a similar version of ESXi host?
Thanks
@@virtualtrainee yes similar version of ESXI, i do all step right but when i restore backup on another host then that host dont turn on after that, maybe if you make a video for this problem will be solve problem of lot persons
Thanks for your initiation. Video is

Hi Ranjan,
How can I help you ? Please share the details.
Thanks
Est ce que cette methode fonctionnel pour restaurer un VM supprimer ?
Hi ,
This is only for ESXi host configuration. You cannot restore deleted VM from datastore.
please let us know if you have any query.
Thanks
You are explaning VM Machines backup and restore process not VMware ESXi Host backup and restore process.
If VM ware server crashed then what will do... We need fresh installion of VMware ESXi Host first then restore vm machines
I hope you understand what is VMware ESXi Host and VM Machine's
Dont give incomplete information... Always give correct information
Hi ,
I really appreciate you for your query. As per my understanding whatever info I have provided that's totally correct.
In this video I explained ow to take ESXi host backup and also explained how to restored it from the backup. This video can also help you, if you are planning to modify configuration settings. Before changing the setting you can take backup, incase anything goes wrong then you can restore ESXi host from the backup. VM restore process is just one example which I have explained in this video.
If you have any questions please let me know.
Thanks
very very low voice, please raise your voice..
Thanks for the suggestion.
