Introduction

Avamar for VMware image backup and restore

Avamar for VMware image backup and restore is built on the VMware vStorage API for Data

Protection (VADP).

Avamar for VMware image backup and restore is fully integrated with VMware vCenter

Server to provide easy detection of virtual machine clients within the vCenter, and enable

efficient centralized management of backup jobs.

Backups and restores require the use of proxy virtual machine clients. Each proxy virtual

machine client provides all of the following capabilities:

◆ Backup of Microsoft Windows and Linux virtual machines (entire images or specific

drives)

◆ Restore of Microsoft Windows and Linux virtual machines (entire images or specific

drives)

◆ Selective restore of individual folders and files to Microsoft Windows and Linux virtual

machines

Proxies run Avamar software inside a Linux virtual machine, and are deployed using an

appliance template (.ova) file.
