vProxy backup only on Data Domain?
Hello everybody,
unfortunately I did not find an answer for this by using the search function.
The question is simple:
Does a NetWorker vProxy backup require a Data Domain or can a backup reside on a NFS share or local disk (AFTD) as well?
The VMware Integration Guide states that a Data Domain is a requirement (p. 25 - system requirements).
But somehow I believe it must be possible without a DD.
Cheers

Hey beacon,
Your question got me curious too, so i did a quick test and as it turns out. In case the "Media Type Required" is not set to "Data Domain" the pool will not even be available to be selected in the destination pool list of the backup action subtype Vmware(vProxy).
So the answer to your question is ony Data Domain devices are supported for VMware Image Level restores.
