Commvault backs up all virtual machines (powered on or powered off) that are identified as content for a subclient.
The backup operation creates an application-consistent snapshot for each protection domain.
The backup operation also creates a default protection domain for any VMs that are identified as subclient content but are not associated with an existing protection domain.
Backups of virtual machines are performed in round-robin sequence.
Note: Application-consistent backups are not supported for the following virtual machines:
-
VMs that run Windows client operating system
-
VMs with IDE disks.
