What are the different types of VMware Backup?

BDRSuite offers two backup methods for VMware Backup, including:

1) Agentless Backup: BDRSuite uses VADP (VMware vStorage APIs for Data Protection) to perform agentless VM-level backup, eliminating the need to install agents on each VM. This is the recommended approach.

2) Agent-based backup: A backup agent is installed on each VM. You can choose any one of the backup approaches:

  • Disk-Image backup: Backup the entire VM as an image, including the operating system, applications, and data.

  • File-level backup: Backup only specific files or folders within a VM

  • Database-level Backup: Backup all or specific databases
