Virtual Server Agent - File-Level recovery for RedHat 8.3


Forum|alt.badge.img+1

Hi team,

Anybody knows if File-Level granular recovery is supported for RedHat version 8.3 Guest VMs?

Where can we get this information? In my case, it is a Nutanix AHV Virtual Server Agent.

Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks

It depends on the file system version used in Linux VM.

You’ll need a File Recovery Enabler to do file lever restores from Linux machines.

To add, its less about the OS version and more about the file system used. I believe XFS should still be default, and that is definitely supported for file recovery as long as you have a FREL deployed.

Here are a couple of short videos which can help get you started:

Make sure, you use FREL with RHEL/CentOS 8.X for Linux 8.X VMs.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer, but regarding compatibility , is version 8.3 (Red Hat) supported? In the past someone of support team told us that was not (in that time). Where can we find this information? (compatibility matrix?).

@Luiz Silva Granular recovery is supported for Linux centos/rhel 8.3 guests. The only requirement is that the FREL should be running 8.2 or higher. This is because the default XFS version and format has changed between RHEL 7 and 8.
