15 vstorage APIs for Data Protection The vstorage APIs for Data Protection enable backup software to protect system, application, and user data in your virtual machines in a simple and scalable way. These APIs enable backup software to: Perform full, differential, and incremental image backup and restore of virtual machines. Perform file-level backup of virtual machines using supported Windows and Linux operating systems Ensure data consistency by using Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Services (VSS) for virtual machines running supported Microsoft Windows operating systems 15

These APIs enable backup software to: Perform full, differential, and incremental image backup and restore of virtual machines.

16 VMWare Data Recovery VMware Data Recovery is a separate product that is built on the VMware vstorage APIs for Data Protection(VADP). Is VMware Data Recovery the replacement for VMware Consolidated (VCB)? VMware Data Recovery is not the replacement product for VCB. Both products will coexist. Define jobs: select sources, destination, backup window and retention policy target Virtual disks and CIFS share Full and incremental backups VM. (Note that after the initial full backups, all other backups are incremental) Restore Full VM restore; create or overwrite entire VM Overwrite single disk Power on VM after restore 16

Is VMware Data Recovery the replacement for VMware Consolidated (VCB)? VMware Data Recovery is not the replacement product for VCB. Both products will coexist.
