Target audience

This guide is intended for users who are responsible for the backup and recovery of VMware virtual machines. Familiarity with VMware vCenter and VMware ESXi Server administration and the operating system (OS) under which the virtual machines are running is assumed. Advanced knowledge of VMware would be useful for defining an efficient backup and recovery strategy for the virtual machines.

About plug-in editions

The Plug‑in for VMware is available in two editions:

•

ESXi Server Edition: The ESXi Server Edition allows you to add one or more standalone VMware ESXi Servers to protect all virtual machines hosted by these servers. You can deploy this edition on any Windows- or Linux-based NetVault Client. The number of ESXi Servers that you can add to the client depends on the capacity specified in the purchased license.

•

Enterprise Edition: The Enterprise Edition allows you to add multiple VMware ESXi or VMware vCenter Servers to protect all virtual machines hosted or managed by these servers. You can deploy this edition on any Windows- or Linux-based NetVault Client. You can add any number of ESXi or vCenter Servers to a client that runs the Enterprise Edition of the plug‑in.
