vmPRO SmartMotion Backup
The vmPRO SmartMotion™ Backup feature provides backup services for your vmPRO appliance by
initiating a scheduled push of specified virtual machine disk (VMDK) files to any specified Network Attached
Storage (NAS) target. The target can be resident on a plain NAS device or on a deduplication system, such
as a Quantum DXi system.
Most SmartMotion backups run based on a schedule you set. In addition, you can manually activate a
SmartMotion backup, as needed.
