Data Protection is an optional data backup and recovery feature for VMware vCloud Hybrid Service that enables self-service, policy-based protection of business-critical data by backing up vApps and their associated virtual machines within Dedicated or Virtual Private Cloud service types.
Compared to traditional file-based backup and recovery solutions, image-level backups are used in Data Protection to ensure all operating system, file system and application data encapsulated within a virtual machine are captured as a snapshot image before being committed to backup media.
