Backup Approaches

Before you submit a backup job, you must specify the approach that you want to use for your backups. You can specify either VCB of VDDK. As a best practice, you should use the VDDK approach.

Note: For more information about the advantages of using the VDDK approach, see Introduction to Integrating with VMware vSphere.

For information about the VDDK approach, the VCB approach, and how to specify a backup approach, see Specify a Backup Approach.
