Why to configure the NetBackup Snapshot Manager cloud providers?

The NetBackup Snapshot Manager cloud providers must be configured for the appropriate clouds if we want to protect the assets of that cloud.

When the cloud providers are configured, Snapshot Manager would be able to discover the assets of that cloud which are managed and protected through NetBackup Web UI.

Refer to the NetBackup Web UI Cloud Administrator's Guide for information on how to configure cloud providers.

By default, snapshots taken on the assets discovered are only crash consistent. To perform filesystem and application consistent snapshot or single file restores on VM's, user must configure agents for their VM's. For more information on configuring the agents, refer to the following section:
