This Fling allows VMware App Volumes AppStacks and Writable Volumes to be backed up and recovered.
The following is how this utility works:
- it connects to both the App Volumes Manager and Virtual Center using API calls
- a backup virtual machine is created
- the underlying VMDK files of selected AppStacks and Writable Volumes are attached to the backup virtual machine
- backup solution which is able to back up VMDK files should be configured to save the VMDK files attached to the backup virtual machine
There is also a utility that can be called from the backup software which will automatically detach, and re-attach any writable volumes which are in use while the backup is running.
