In this article, we will now add vCenter Servers Backup Exec 22. We will use an agent approach to back up virtual machines inside our vCenter. An Agent-based backup is typically used when you need to enable mealy restoration of database items such as Active Directory, Exchange Server, SQL, etc.
We will have to create a role group on our vCenter server and give the account administrator rights on the VMware vCenter so Backup Exec can initiate backup/restore tasks. For this article, we will just use our administrator account to log in.
