Before you begin
Before creating a VMware VADP backup set, you must ensure that the following requirements are met as applicable:
• For application consistent backups, ensure that VMware Tools is installed on the guest operating system of the virtual machine.
• If an ESXi host is added with its DNS name to the vCenter Server, the DS-Client machine must be able to execute a name resolution for that ESXi host to back up or restore the virtual machines.
• If you plan to enable the Local DS-VDR option, you must have configured the Local DS-VDR Tool for the DS-Client. For more information, see
“Configuring the Local DS-VDR Tool”.
