Overview of this book

Table of Contents (13 chapters)

vCloud Director support


From the administrator's perspective, working with vCloud Director vApps is very similar to working with traditional VMs in a VMware vSphere environment. Once the vCloud Director infrastructure is added to Veeam Backup & Replication, it's content is available for protection. The following items are available for selection:

  • vApp

  • Organization vDC

  • Organization

  • vCloud Director instance

As with regular backup jobs, these backups can be scheduled and performed automatically. Restore of vCloud Director-based backups are also performed in the same familiar manner as with vSphere-based VMs, and features such as Instant VM Recovery are also available. It is even possible to restore an entire vCloud Director-based VM to a vSphere infrastructure directly from the restore wizard. To be able to protect a vCloud Director environment, the Enterprise license or higher, is required.
