Hi Fredrik,

I am using the Agent for VMware (Windows-based) in a separate VM for all my VMware hosts.
In case of recovery you can restore the VMware host (to bare metal, from Recure Media) and in step two you can recover all VMs to the recovered VMware host.

If you have different "functions" on the VMs (like Exchange, ADS) it may require a separate Agent in the Guest OS.

 

Hi
thanks for your reply

I can only add 1 standalone host / installed vmware agent right?

If the hosts are connected to a vCenter Server you can simply add the vCenter to AB12.

For standalone hosts you would need a separate Agent for each host, thats right. This can be a Agent for VMware (Windows) or the Appliance.
