1.2.2 Components
This section describes the software components utilized by the backup service.
On the end-user side
At least one of the following components must be installed on the end-user side:
Agent for Windows backs up disks, volumes, and files on a machine running Windows.
Agent for VMware backs up ESX(i) virtual machines without installing agents into the guest
systems. The agent is installed on a Windows machine that has network access to vCenter Server
and to the storage where the backed-up virtual machines are stored.
