Table: Fields under Backup Details and Virtual Machine Attributes
Field | Description |
|---|---|
Image Details | Information on the backup. |
Storage Type | The storage type that was used for the backup. Note: The time that is required to restore the image may depend on the storage type. This dependency is especially likely for a recovery that uses an AdvancedDisk storage type or a deduplication storage type. |
Master Server | The NetBackup master server that made the backup. |
Backup ID | The backup ID. |
Schedule Type | The type of schedule that was used for the backup. |
Virtual Machine Attributes | The attributes of the virtual machine at the time it was backed up. |
Display Name | The display name of the specified VM. |
Host name | The host name of the VM. |
DNS Name | The DNS name of the VM. |
vCenter server | The vCenter server name. |
ESX server | The ESX server name. |
Data center | Displays the name of the data center. |
Instance UUID | The globally unique ID assigned to the virtual machine when the virtual machine is created. This ID uniquely identifies the virtual machine within a vCenter server. Even if the virtual machine has been duplicated (such as within a vCloud), only the original virtual machine retains this instance ID. (The virtual machine duplicates are assigned different instance UUIDs.) |
BIOS UUID | The ID assigned to the virtual machine when the virtual machine is created. This ID may or may not be unique, depending on whether the virtual machine has been duplicated. This option is included for compatibility with the policies that use the older VM UUID identifier. |
VM Version | Displays the original hardware version of the VM. |
vCloud Enabled | Indicates whether the VM resided in a vCloud environment when the VM was backed up. |
Resource Pool | The resource pool of the VM. |
vApp | The vApp. |
VMDKs | The vmdk files of the selected virtual machine. |
