Scenario:
As part of the transition to a virtualised network the client, Terrence Stewart, ROI Network Manager and IT Support has realised that the policies and procedures, relating to backup and recovery,need to be updated. He has asked that you to prepare a new policy document which outlines the details of how to backup data on the server VMs in the Virtual environment.
As the data stored on a server could relate to private information, there also needs to be considerations about how backup should be stored to comply with the government legislation and guidelines relating to privacy. To clarify this Terrence has direct you to look at the following https://www.oaic.gov.au/privacy/guidance-and-advice/guide-to-securing-personal-information/#s4-taking-appropriate-steps-and-putting-into-place-strategies-to-protect-personal-information. 
Terrence has pointed out that this document needs to be similar in content and tone to the original ROI Data Backup Policy. You may reuse any text that you deem suitable for the new document.
To do:
Create a strategy (e.g. plan/approach) that will apply to backup and recovery of a virtual machine in the virtual network. It needs to include;
a)Policy for backing up server VMs in the VE
b)Information on storage of backups to comply with government legislation and guidelines relating to privacy. All relevant legislation should be listed here
c)The use and integration of a third-party software tool
d)Procedure for restoring a virtual server in the VE.

Note: Please refer to the ROI Data Backup Policy(ROI_Data_Backup_Policy.pdf). Also, refer to reliable sources of information such as industry-specific or vendor websites and cite your references in the Bibliographysection of your reportusing the APA referencing style.

1. Ensure that you have at least one Windows 10 VM created in one of the member servers: ROI-SRV-01 (SRV2016S2)&ROI-SRV-02 (SRV2016S3)
2. Name the VM as Win10-01 and ensure it is powered on.

Demonstration tasks: Perform live migration of VMs
Perform the following tasks to demonstrate live migration of Win10-01 from ROI-SRV-01 (SRV2016S2) to ROI-SRV-02 (SRV2016S3)and back from ROI-SRV-02 (SRV2016S3)ROI-SRV-01 (SRV2016S2).
a) Migrate VM Win10-01 from ROI-SRV-01 (SRV2016S2)toROI-SRV-02 (SRV2016S3) while the VM is running.
b) Migrate VM Win10-01 back from ROI-SRV-02 (SRV2016S3)toROI-SRV-01 (SRV2016S2) while the VM is running.
c) Log your actions, configuration and testing process, including relevant screenshots in your ROI Network Virtualisation Reportunder Appendix E – Provide live migration capability in the virtual environment usingsuitable sub-headings

Observation Checklist for Part 9
The Observation Checklist will be used by your assessor to mark your performance for the previous assessment event. Use this Checklist to understand what skills you need to demonstrate in the practical. The Checklist lists the assessment criteria used to determine whether you have successfully completed this assessment event. All the criteria must be met. Your demonstration will be used as part of the overall evidence requirements of the unit. The assessor may ask questions while the demonstration is taking place or if appropriate directly after the task/activity has been completed.
Part 10: Practical – backup and recover a VM
In this task you will back up, and recover a virtual machine using script files and by using third-party tools. 
Task 1: Use PowerShell scripts to backup user data
In this task you will back up, and recover, data on a virtual machine using a script file. You will do this as follows:
a) Create a PowerShell script to backup User data (i.e. C:\Users), on the ROI-A VM, to an alternate location, such as a network share or external drive.Ensure you include documentation in your script and that your script is well structured, has correct syntax and is accurate.
b) Test this script to ensure it functions as required. 
c) Log your actions, configuration and testing process, including relevant screenshots in your ROI Network Virtualisation Reportunder Appendix F – backup and recovery of VMs in the Virtual Environment usingsuitable sub-headings.
Task 2: Usethird-party tools to backup VMs
a) Install a third-party backup tool/s in your Host or one if your VM Hosts (ROI-SRV-01 or ROI-SRV-02) that would allow for VM backups and recovery.
Note: Refer to the ROI’s data backup policy you’ve updated in the ROI Network Virtualisation Reportand install the third-party tool that you’ve already researched on previously.
b) Perform backup of any of the Windows 10 VMs (ROI-A or Win10-01) using the third-party tool.
c) Append the word ‘backup’ to the name the backup of the VM. (e.g.ROI-A-Backup or Win10-01-Backup).
d) Log your actions, configuration and testing process, including relevant screenshots in your ROI Network Virtualisation Reportunder Appendix F – backup and recovery of VMs in the Virtual Environment usingsuitable sub-headings.
Task 3: Usethird-party tools to recover VMs
a) Delete the original Windows 10 VM (ROI-A or Win10-01).
b) Using the backup created in the previous task, restore the original Windows 10 VM.
c) Verify that Windows 10 VM has been correctly restored and that all previous functionality is still in place.
d) Log your actions, configuration and testing process, including relevant screenshots in your ROI Network Virtualisation Reportunder Appendix F – backup and recovery of VMs in the Virtual Environment usingsuitable sub-headings.
