Planning to install Data Protection for VMware
Data Protection for VMware eliminates the impact of running backups on a VM by offloading backup workloads from a VMware ESX or ESXi-based host to a vStorage Backup server.
Data Protection for VMware works with the integrated data mover to complete incremental-forever full, and incremental-forever incremental backups of VMs. The data mover node "moves" the data to the IBM Spectrum Protect™ server for storage, and for VM image-level restore at a later time. Instant restore is available at the disk volume level and full VM level.
Tip: The data mover is a separately licensed component that contains its own user interfaces and documentation. Familiarity with this product and its documentation is necessary in order to adequately integrate a comprehensive plan for protecting your VMs with Data Protection for VMware. Data Protection for VMware for Windows 64-bit includes the data mover feature.
