Virtual workload requirements

When you are protecting virtual server workloads, the general source and target server requirements still apply, however, the requirements and limitations are more strict depending on your virtual configuration. Select a link to see the requirements that correspond with your virtual configuration.

Physical or virtual (guest level) to Hyper-V virtual—If your source is a physical or virtual server, and you want to protect the volumes from the physical server or the volumes from within the virtual guest operating system, and your target is a virtual server on a Hyper- V server, then see the Physical or virtual to Hyper-V requirements.
Physical or virtual (guest level) to ESX virtual—If your source is a physical or virtual server, and you want to protect the volumes from the physical server or the volumes from within the virtual guest operating system, and your target is a virtual server on an ESX server, then see the Physical or virtual to ESX requirements.
Hyper-V virtual (host level) to Hyper-V virtual—If your source is a virtual server on a Hyper-V server, and you want to protect the host-level virtual disk files (.vhd files), and your target is a virtual server on a Hyper-V server, then see the Hyper-V to Hyper-V requirements.
ESX virtual (host level) to ESX virtual—If your source is a virtual server on an ESX server, and you want to protect the host-level virtual disk files (.vmdk files), and your target is a virtual server on an ESX server, then see the ESX to ESX requirements.
