[0004] The above-mentioned VM backup method does not reflect the application, system, storage and other characteristics of the VM. The VM list obtained in step 1) does not give information such as the application type on the VM, the operating system it hosts, and the storage where the VM files are located. , in order to select the correct VM backup source, you have to rely on the memory of the user administrator or query the bookkeeping information; in today's virtualization center with tens or hundreds of VMs, it is necessary to rely on the user's memory to manually select the backup source of the virtual machine, and the workload is heavy ,low efficiency

Embodiment 1

[0069] The embodiment of the present invention provides a virtual machine batch backup method based on an application type through the type-based virtual machine backup. This method completes the one-click protection of all virtual machines of the same type by grouping and organizing VMs according to key application types. The classification effect is as follows: Figure 5 As mentioned, the backup process is as follows figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0070] 1. Set the virtualization classification policy of the client through the console to: application type;

[0071] 2. The client obtains the VM list through the Public API provided by the Hypervisor. Figure 5 The VM view shown in (a), if it fails, turn to step 18 and end the task;

[0072] 3. Read the MBR virtual disk metadata of the VM from the virtual disk file through the PublicAPI provided by the Hypervisor, if successful, continue, otherwise go to step 18 and end the task;

Embodiment 2

[0089] The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for batch backup of virtual machines based on operating system type through type-based virtual machine backup. In this method, VMs are grouped and organized according to the type of operating system carried by the VMs to complete the one-click protection of all virtual machines of the same type. The classification effect is as follows: Figure 6 As mentioned, the backup process is as follows figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0090] 1. Set the virtualization classification policy of the client through the console to: operating system type;

[0091] 2. The client obtains the VM list through the Public API provided by the Hypervisor. Figure 6 The VM view shown in (a), if it fails, turn to step 25 and end the task;

[0092] 3. Read the MBR virtual disk metadata of the VM from the virtual disk file through the PublicAPI provided by the Hypervisor, if successful, continue, otherwise go t...

Abstract

The invention relates to a virtual machine backup method based on classification. The method includes the following steps that firstly, the category of classification of virtual machines is set according to the backup requirement; secondly, a data source module obtains a list of the virtual machines requiring of backup and stores the list; thirdly, a classification recognition module receives the list of the virtual machines and identifies the corresponding types of the virtual machines according to disk file formats and file system formats of all the virtual machines; fourthly, a virtual machine list tree is reorganized based on the category of classification and the types of the virtual machines; fifthly, virtual machine backup sources are selected according to the category of classification; sixthly, backup is conducted on the virtual machines. Compared with the prior art, the virtual machine backup method has the advantages that backup source selection work is simplified, and work efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a data backup technology, in particular to a class-based virtual machine backup method. Background technique [0002] With the maturity of virtualization technology, more and more enterprises have begun to accept and adopt virtualization technology in the data center. According to statistics, the current virtualization penetration rate in the Chinese market has reached 50% (the penetration rate in the European and American virtualization market is as high as 80%) ), and is still growing rapidly; the application of virtualization technology has saved a lot of costs for enterprises, but it has also brought greater challenges to the implementation of efficient and convenient disaster recovery solutions. [0003] The current mainstream virtual machine (Virtual Machine, VM) backup principle is as follows: 1) obtain the VM list through the Public API provided by the virtualization management software (Hypervisor), and select some (se...
