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.
