To minimize system downtime and data loss when failures occur, back up all components in the VMware Aria Suite regularly. If your system fails, you can recover it by restoring the last known working backup and reinstalling some components.

You can back up the VMware Aria Suite VMs with NetBackup by creating and running a backup policy.

You must create the backup policy before you start the backup process for any VM. For more information about creating a backup policy, go to www.veritas.com and see NetBackup for VMware Administrator's Guide.
