Backup Linux virtual machine with physical RDM disk

Post by erbinb »

We have linux red hat virtual machines which have some physical RDM disk and other virtual disk, the OS boot is a virtual disk. We have the next question, Can we exclude RDM disk in the job and then dont have trouble with RDM disk ? in this case we need only backup OS system because currently only is neccesary restore Virtual machine without RDM disks.

Hello,
in general, that works fine. You also don't need to exclude anything because RDMs cannot be snapshotted anyway (meaning vm-based backup).

It's hard to guess whether really everything works as you expect. So the general advise is to test after backup (classic full-vm restore or instant VM recovery)

Best regards,
Hannes
