View the Backup Status for Virtual Machines

In Virtual Machine View, Infrastructure Visualization displays all VMware Proxy, VMware vCenter Server systems, VMware ESX/ESXi Host systems, and Microsoft Hyper-V systems. Virtual machines are displayed below the servers on which they reside at population or backup time. This could mean that VMware ESX/ESXi Host systems display below a VMware vCenter Server system or a VMware backup proxy system, depending on how it was populated or backed up. VMware vCenter Servers are displayed under the VMware backup proxy system.

If you enter user credentials for a specific VMware vCenter Server system, the Agent for Virtual Machines detects the corresponding ESX/ESXi server, and displays this information for each virtual machine in the Infrastructure Visualization graph.
