I'm doing a restore of a physical Windows 10 machine from Rapid Recovery 6.10 to another desktop machine. I'm booting off the Linux Live DVD, tried version 6.10, 6.9 and 6.7, and it gives me the ip and the password but it fails with the below error...

Is it possible to have Rapid Recovery backup VM's based on tags assigned in vCenter? I couldn't see any mention of this in the docs or poking around in the RR Portal.

Suggested Answer
There is a feature called "Automatic agentless protection". This feature will protect all new VMs; it does not take into consideration vCenter tags.
You can add this as a feature request at Quest Ideas.

I know about automatic agentless but we due to our configuration, we don't want everything backed up in all locations so I need to manually add new VM's to the appropriate RR core. If I could tag in vCenter that would be so much easier. I think Veeam...

Our current setup has 2x Cores, 1 at our DataCenter and the other at our headoffice. Each Core has a repository size of around 15-16TB being used and the repositories on each core replicate to each other. This gives us our online and offsite backups.

You can archive yes, and although you will get the benefit of cheaper storage you will lose the benefit of retention. Replication gets you retention, Archive does not. Also, so we're clearly you can archive to S3, blob storage, but you can't replicate...

I have confirmed RHEL/Rocky 9 does NOT work on the latest 6.7. The docs don't say it does either.
Rocky 8 with dkms 3.0.11, nbd 6.7 on kernel 4.18.0-477.10.1 works. Both the backup and restore. Compiling is less than desired. You get deprecated messages...

Rocky Linux 9.5's latest kernel doesn't work. kernel-5.14.0-503.14.1.el9_5.x86_64
Rocky 9.4: kernel-5.14.0-427.42.1.el9_4.x86_64 does work so you'll need to stay on this kernel for now.
The last thread I can find hasn't had any updates in nearly a year. Has there been any progress on this compatibility or what agent installer to use?

Does the RR 6.8 agent not work? The sys requirements show v9, not necessarily 9.3: Rapid Recovery 6.8 - System Requirements Guide (quest.com)
Can you validate that v6.8 does not work?
I can confirm:
kernel-5.14.0-427.42.1.el9_4.x86_64 works
kernel-5.14.0-503.14.1.el9_5.x86_64 does NOT.

Hi Simon,
If you are doing a WIndows BMR you need to use a Windows BootCD not the Linux one, most likely that is the problem.
In order to create a Windows BootCD you can take a look to this KB article How To: create a Rapid Recovery Boot CD (4035439)
