NetWorker backup without clients

Helo guys!

We have Networker 8.2 and a group of phisical machines and virtual machines in vmware esxi 6.0. Networker and vmware not integrated.

So I interesting if it is necessary to install client on machines to make backup?

Sure. NW cannot really determine whether these are physical or virtual machines.

Are u planning to use VBA or Vadp to back up your vms ?? Or simply install networker client and back them . It is not recommended to use both methods . Kindly download networker 8.2.x integration guide with vmware for detailed information.

With vproxy/VBA/VADP, client install is not needed.

May I suggest you better upgrade to NW 9 and use NVP.
