Performing a continuous (virtual standby) Oracle VirtualBox export

To perform a continuous (virtual standby) VirtualBox export:

  1. In the Core Console, do one of the following:
    • On the Virtual Standby tab, click Add to launch the Export Wizard. On the Protected Machines page of the Export Wizard, select the protected machine you want to export, and then click Next.
    • Navigate to the machine you want to export, and, on the Summary tab in the Actions drop-down menu for that machine, click Export > Virtual Standby .
  2. On the Destination page in the Export Wizard, in the Recover to Virtual machine drop-down menu, select VirtualBox, and then click Next.
  3. On the Virtual Machine Options page, select Use Windows machine.
  4. Enter the parameters for accessing the virtual machine as described in the following table.
    Text Box Description
    Virtual Machine Name Enter a name for the virtual machine being created.
    • NOTE: The default name is the name of the source machine.
    Target Path Specify a local or remote target path to create the virtual machine.
    • NOTE: The target path should not be a root directory.

    If you specify a network share path, you will need to enter valid logon credentials (user name and password) for an account that is registered on the target machine. The account must have read and write permissions to the network share.

    Memory Specify the memory for the virtual machine.
    • Click Use the same amount of RAM as the source machine to specify that the RAM configuration is the same as the source machine.
    • Click Use a specific amount of RAM to specify how much RAM to use; for example, 4096 Megabytes (MB). The minimum amount allowed is 512 MB and the maximum is determined by the capability and limitations of the host machine.
  5. To specify a user account for the virtual machine, select Specify the user account for the exported virtual machine, and then enter the following information. This refers to a specific user account for which the virtual machine will be registered in the event there are multiple user accounts on the virtual machine. When this user account is logged on, only this user will see this Virtual Machine in VirtualBox manager. If an account is not specified, then the Virtual Machine will be registered for all existing users on the Windows machine with VirtualBox.
    • User name - Enter the user name for which the virtual machine is registered.
    • Password - Enter the password for this user account.
  6. Select Perform initial ad-hoc export to perform the virtual export immediately instead of after the next scheduled snapshot.
  7. Click Next.
  8. On the Volumes page, select the volumes to export, for example, C:\ and D:\, and then click Next.
  9. On the Summary page, click Finish to complete the wizard and to start the export.
    • NOTE: You can monitor the status and progress of the export by viewing the Virtual Standby or Events tab.
