PHD Virtual Backup for VMware vSphere

How PHD Virtual Backup Works

PHD Virtual Backup uses jobs to perform backups, restores, and backup storage maintenance (manual and automatic deletes). When a job is created, the PHD Virtual Backup Appliance (VBA) performs the requested action right away or based on a defined schedule.

When deployed to a vCenter Server or individual ESX or ESXi host, the PHD Virtual Backup Appliance performs the backup and restore processing for the VMs within that vCenter or Host environment.
