NetBackup™ Snapshot Manager for Data Center Administrator's Guide

VMware vSAN File Services plug-in

NetBackup provides a robust data protection solution for VMware vSAN file shares that are set up on a Network Attached Storage (NAS) storage host. NetBackup supports NAS and allows you to protect file shares that are hosted on VMware vSAN File Services environment.

Snapshot Manager for Data Center plug-in for VMware vSAN File Services contains the functional logic that enables NetBackup to discover the vSAN clusters and file shares on the VMware vCenter server then initiate snapshot create, export, deport, and delete operations for those shares. You must configure this plug-in on NetBackup primary server.

Snapshot Manager for Data Centeruses the pyVmomi SDK and its extension for vSAN managed objects provided by VMware to communicate with the VMware vSAN File Services to discover the vSAN clusters, file shares, and the snapshots to back up.
