You can configure backup policies to back up VMware VMs to CAS.
Backup policies are executed sequentially. The system can execute a maximum of five VM backup tasks simultaneously, and each host can run only one backup policy task. If the backup task starts later than the configured backup end time, the task will not be executed.
You cannot create backup policies for incorporated VMs of UniCloud Usphere or external CAS.
To ensure successful migration or backup for a VMware VM, make sure the number of snapshots created for it does not exceed 31.
