Use the following methods to protect virtual machine environments using Arcserve Backup:
For VMware-based systems, VMware provides a mechanism called Virtual Disk Development Kit (VDDK) that lets you protect the files and data stored in the VMs in VMware ESX Host systems and VMware vCenter Server systems. To integrate Arcserve Backup with VMware VDDK and Windows Server Hyper-V systems, you install and license the Agent for Virtual Machines.
Note: For information about system requirements and supported platforms, see the readme file. For information about installing and configuring the agent, see the Agent for Virtual Machines Guide.
Note: To use the scripted solution, you must install and license the Arcserve Backup Client Agent for Windows.
For information about how to use a scripted solution to protect VMware ESX/ESXi Host systems, see the Best Practices Guide for VMware ESX Server Backup on the Arcserve Technical Support website. The best practices guide describes common methods that you can use for data backups on VMs, and any considerations relating to the different methods.
