Virtual machine protection
Plan the proxy and repository data path for your vSphere environment.
VMWARE
Protect your VMs.
Plan your recovery.
Make the VMware protection workflow visible from backup point to recovery target. Plan proxy, repository and target vSphere resources together.
STEP-BY-STEP GUIDES
From installation to recovery.

VMware Backup
Prepare VMware backup step by step, from vCenter connectivity and test VM selection to HotAdd prerequisites and the full/CBT chain.
Open guide02VMware Restore
Plan VMware recovery point selection, target vSphere resources and datastore checks, then validate recovery in a new isolated VM.
Open guideUSE CASES
Start with your needs.
An isolated test environment
Check disks and the guest in a new VM target.
Changed data
Monitor the CBT chain and requirements for a new full backup.
HOW IT WORKS
Steps that work together.
- 01
Discovery
Verify vCenter and the required proxy access.
- 02
Initial full backup
Check the disk set and repository record.
- 03
Incremental backup
Monitor transfers using CBT change information.
- 04
Restore
Verify boot and data in a new isolated target.
DEFINE YOUR SCENARIO
Focus on changed data
The repository workflow combines vCenter snapshots and VDDK reads with CBT change information. If the incremental chain requirements are not met, a new full backup is evaluated for the affected disk.
An isolated recovery target
Repository recovery creates a new virtual machine. The target VM is prepared powered off and disconnected from the network. Results are reported after disk-set and integrity checks.
Validate the components together
Master, proxy, VDDK and repository components must be updated together. Confirm the technical scope for your vCenter/ESXi version, disk layout and datastore access.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Start with
the right questions.
Is this instant recovery?
The workflow described here restores to a new, isolated VM. Instant recovery and overwriting a running VM require separate scope confirmation.
Can we discuss other virtualization platforms?
Yes. Share your Hyper-V, KVM or Sangfor environment, agent requirements, platform version and recovery target through our virtualization solution page.
