Doing a Backup Operation

After your program obtains information about what is available to back up, it can perform a backup. The three steps to the backup process are:

■

Create a Temporary Snapshot on the Target Virtual Machine

■

Extract Backup Data from the Target Virtual Machine, and save configuration information.

■

Delete the Temporary Snapshot
