To get started backing up your VMware vSphere VMs, plan your deployment, configure the required components, and define how backups run and which VMs to protect. After completing these steps, your VMware vSphere environment is continuously protected and ready for restore operations.
Prerequisites
-
Complete Get started with Commvault.
-
If you're a Commvault software self-hosted customer, you must add at least one access node that can access your VMware vSphere environment and that is close close to vCenter and ESXi hosts. Access nodes are the data movers that perform backup and restore operations.
To deploy a Linux access node, see Deploy a Linux access node for VMware vSphere.
