Dell EMC NetWorker 19.8 VMware Integration Guide
Migrating policies from VMware Backup appliance to vProxy appliance
New NetWorker installations only use the NetWorker VMware Protection solution with the vProxy appliance. Backup operations with the VMware Backup appliance (VBA) are not supported, although you can use the vProxy appliance to perform recoveries from VBA backups within the NetWorker Management Web user interface. When you upgrade from a NetWorker 9.0.x and earlier release, you must migrate to use only the vProxy appliance, which requires workflow migration is required to convert existing VMware Backup appliance policies to vProxy appliance policies.
This migration involves two stages—a check that occurs prior to migration to ensure all the compatibility prerequisites are satisfied, and then the actual migration to convert existing VMware Backup appliance protection groups and policies to the vProxy appliance. You can initiate the policy migration by using the command line or NMC.
NOTE:
- Starting with NetWorker 19.7, support for restores from VBA is deprecated.
- NetWorker does not support the migration of workflows and policies from a VMware Backup appliance deployed in a NetWorker release previous to NetWorker 9.0 that uses GSAN internal storage.
