Backup-vm operation
The backup-vm operation backs up virtual machines (VM) that are specified in the <vmlist> element. The operation also makes backup of the VMware VMs from the VMware Consolidated Backup (VCB) proxy machine.
One or more VMs are processed by using the VCB snapshot backups from the backup proxy, however the backup files are stored as if they are backed up from within the VMs.
