All
I may have missed something here, but wanted to check...
 
NBU 7.0.1 and doing full VM Backups, most of which have RDM's
 
I ran a test today on a VM Guest that has a single 10GB RDM. Performed the VMware Backups (Using the windows-flashbackup policy) and all fine.
Using the BAR Tool, I see the VM Guest which is fine and I am NOT expecting the RDM to be present, so I fully understand this!
 
But when I restore the VM (Overwrite the existing VM, use the same UUID, power on VM), this works great but the RDM that was mapped is no longer mapped.
 
Now, I thought that by capturing the VM Guest, it meant that any RDM that was assigned would get re-attached once the VM guest was restored.
 
Or have I missed the point?
Simon
