This is the recommended method for importing a number of production VMware VMs. The VergeIO VMware service creates a direct agent connection to a VMware environment and provides for synchronizing backups of running VMs to VergeIO.
Typically, for import: a backup operation is run multiple times while VMs are still running in production. After the backup job runs one or more times, the duration of each backup job should begin to decrease. When backup job durations start to level off (e.g. backup duration is about the same each time) one last backup is performed while the VMs are powered down and then the import operation is completed using that backup job (directions below).
The following directions cover importing from an existing VMware backup Job. See the VMware-Backup-DR-Guide for full instructions to configure the VMware Backup service.
See Viewing Import Jobs for instructions on viewing the details of an import job.
