About the NetBackup plug-in for VMware vSphere Client (HTML5)

With the NetBackup vSphere Client (HTML5) plug-in, you can use vSphere Client to monitor the backups of virtual machines that vCenter servers manage. You can also recover a virtual machine from a backup.

You can use the plug-in to do the following:

  • View the backup status of virtual machines at various vSphere levels. For example: Datacenter, resource pool, ESXi host.

  • View messages that are related to backups, such as snapshot deletion failure.

  • Sort and filter the backup information and export the information for analysis.

  • Recover virtual machines. (The recovery feature and the instant recovery feature are optional and are not required for monitoring virtual machine backups.)

  • Instantly recover and power on a virtual machine.

  • Configure a custom attribute to exclude virtual disks from backups.
