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.

To view the backup status for virtual machines

  1. Launch Infrastructure Visualization.
  2. Click Virtual Machines to change views.
  3. Select the VMware or Hyper-V option to view the virtual machines of the desired type in your environment.
  4. Double-click a node to obtain backup details including Dashboard Reports.
