The Plug-in for VMware can be deployed on any Windows- or Linux-based NetVault Backup Client that has access
to the virtual disk storage. This type of deployment enables centralized backup administration and off loads
backup I/O from the ESX Server. The ESX Server is only required to generate the snapshot checkpoint, which is
recorded in the disk. This results in a minimal performance impact on the ESX Server. With a vCenter Server, the
plug-in takes advantage of the Storage vMotion technology to track virtual machine migration and automatically
back up a virtual machine from its current host.
