I haven&#8217;t read the book but watched the TV series last year, and there was a character in it I sometimes relate to. He was someone who loved computers, but his mere presence seemed to break them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes, I definitely feel like him. I sat down on Sunday morning to do a screen recording demo of using the PowerProtect Data Manager plugin for vSphere, but as I was about to get started, I had another reminder from SoftRAID that v6.0.4 was out and I should update to it. &#8220;It&#8217;ll only take a few minutes&#8221;, I noted to myself (famous last words), and told it to go ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than five hours later, I finally had my desktop back in usable order but only after booting into recovery mode and restoring the system drive from a snapshot taken yesterday. (Hey, trust me, I <em>appreciate<\/em> snapshots.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>(A side note here to Apple: telling me the times\/dates of a bunch of snapshots in GMT-7 when I&#8217;m in GMT+10 is inferior UX design. Surprise, surprise, GMT-7 is US Pacific Daylight Time. That&#8217;s handy when I live in Melbourne, Australia.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the time all that was sorted, I&#8217;d lost my mojo for recording videos. If I&#8217;d have tried to do a recording, I&#8217;d have come across pretty cranky. Screenshots to the rescue!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, the PowerProtect Data Manager plugin for vSphere works a little different from Avamar and NetWorker&#8217;s. While Avamar and NetWorker insert a plugin via the <em>Menu<\/em> dropdown in vSphere, Data Manager&#8217;s appears within the summary page for individual virtual machines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/01-PPDM-Recovery-Controls.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1661\" height=\"1168\" src=\"https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/01-PPDM-Recovery-Controls.png\" alt=\"Viewing the PowerProtect Data Manager plugin in the VM summary page.\" class=\"wp-image-10369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/01-PPDM-Recovery-Controls.png 1661w, https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/01-PPDM-Recovery-Controls-300x211.png 300w, https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/01-PPDM-Recovery-Controls-1024x720.png 1024w, https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/01-PPDM-Recovery-Controls-768x540.png 768w, https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/01-PPDM-Recovery-Controls-1536x1080.png 1536w, https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/01-PPDM-Recovery-Controls-1600x1125.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1661px) 100vw, 1661px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><strong><em>PowerProtect Data Manager plugin visible from VM Summary page<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can see three options in the Data Manager plugin:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Backup now<\/li><li>File Level Restore<\/li><li>Restore<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(These options are only available if the virtual machine is a member of a Data Manager policy.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this overview, I&#8217;m going to do a virtual machine recovery, restoring it as a new VM within my lab environment.
