After deploying Virtual Server Agent (VSA) proxies, you can perform basic configuration to customize your backup and restore operations.
-
You must create a virtualization client for the vCenter. If you have multiple vCenters, create a virtualization client for each.
-
Unless you want all virtual machines for the vCenter to be covered by the default subclient, create additional user-defined subclients that identify groups of virtual machines to back up.
See Modifying a Subclient for the most important options that you can configure for a subclient.
Subclient options enable you to create a client group for each subclient or to identify VM owners automatically.
-
Define rules to discover virtual machines automatically.
-
Define filters to exclude virtual machines based on various criteria.
-
You might want to identify VSA proxies at the subclient level if different subclients have different backup requirements.
