Hello Michael, Thank you very much for your help! Unfortunately I cannot work on this at the because of the current global situation. Therefore I had to pause this topic. Fortunately we have a working workaround temporarily. I will do what you suggested immediately when the situation normalized here...

Hello Michael,

According to the license terms as I use the free edition I couldn't open cases as far as I know.

Kind regards,

Hello Michael, Please find attached the config files. Please be noted that I have replaced our server names. So in the test system the iSCSI target has now the 'TSTsrvNetbiosName' which in practice is our test server's netbios name and in the prod system you will find the 'prodFQDN' which in practic...

Hello Michael, Sure! Here are two samples. HVS2Offsite.swdsk -> it is the actual VTL where our production backup is running. TMP.swdsk -> this is the temp one where I tried to attach an existing offsite backup. Thank you in advance! Edit: during the installation there was a wizard window where I cou...

Hello Michael, Thank you very much for your update! It sounds good except one thing: "make sure that all paths in the restored vtl.swdsk file are pointing to the new location. In my case, <path>My Computer\C\VTL\VTL.swdsk.tapes\</path> (old location) was changed to <path>My Computer\F\VTL\VTL.s...

Thank you very much!

Hi there, Thats not a problem. I just didn't know if I am the only one who has the problem (maybe because because of some missconfiguration on my side) or is it a reproducable problem. Just take your time and let me know if I can assist in any way, try out something or give additional information. T...

Does this mean that nobody run into this problem or nobody has tried it until now?
Could someone confirm if he was able to import their virtual tapes on a brand new installation for recovery purposes? Thank you in advance!

Hi There, Is there any progess on this feature? Is it implemented also in the free edition? We also testing StarWind VTL free as an offsite backup solution whereas now we have tons of VTLs on the Offline Shelf after our tests. Is there way in the free edition via PowerShell to clean them up? Thank y...

Yes, I did. It's on the Offline Shelf on the initial library.

Hi There, Thank you for your answer! I think it is important that I use the free edition where I have no wizard option. This is why I used the powershell method. But let me answer the questions: 1. Yes, the USB device is recognised by the OS and I can see the vtape files. 2. I mounted the VTLs throu...

Hello Everyone, I wanted to do a desaster recovery test. I've installed a brand new DC and a new DPM and joined it to the domain. I've installed starwind VTL on the DPM, recreated the target and device, attached my USB disk which contains my virtual tape backups. Then tried to insert the virtual tap...

Hi there, Thanks for your answer and the info. Finally fortunately I had two simple issue. Once I rebooted the server where VTL was installed the upload speed immediately jumped up to ~45Mbps. I haven't made any changes I just couldn't reboot the server earlier. The second was my fault. I made a lot...

Ok, I have been looking the documentation since days now and I found that on the GUI management there is an option called "Allow multiple concurrent iSCSI connections". I haven't found a way to set this through PowerShell in the free edition. Can this be my problem? Is it possible that the...

Hi, We are developing our new backup strategy and we are planning to use Starwind VTL as our offsite backup solution. In this scenario we experience a very pure tape backup speed but I don't have too much experience with iSCSI devices so I'm not sure if this is normal or am I doing something wrong. ...
