Backup

Using the Data Protector VMware integration, you can back up the following VMware
objects:
• Virtual machines
• Filesystems of virtual machines

What is backed up?

Data Protector identifies datacenters and virtual machines by their Virtual Infrastructure
inventory path. A standalone ESX Server system has only one datacenter
/ha-datacenter and only one folder /vm, which stores all the virtual machines.
Example:
Datacenter: /ha-datacenter
Virtual machine: /vm/myvm1
In a VirtualCenter environment, you can organize virtual machines and datacenters
within folders that you create yourself. However, once you move a datacenter or a
virtual machine to another folder, you need to create a new backup specification
because Data Protector no longer finds the datacenter or virtual machine under the
specified path.
Example:
Virtual machine: /vm/myfolder1/myfolder2/.../myvm2
Datacenter: /myfolder/mydatacenter
Depending on the backup method that you select, you can back up either a virtual
machine or a filesystem of a virtual machine.
