About protecting an application database with VMware backups

With a VMware backup policy and the Veritas VSS provider, NetBackup can create consistent, full backups of an application database that resides on a virtual machine.

VMware application backups let you:

  • Use the existing database restore process to restore and recover data from VMware backups.

  • Restore and recover databases from VMware backups to alternate clients. The target destination client can be a physical computer or a virtual machine.

Supported environments and configuration

See the following information on virtual systems compatibility:

Veritas VSS provider
