Backup and restore vSphere SPBM policies with Veeam Backup & Replication

Luca Dell'Oca, December 13, 2016December 4, 2016

SPBM allows virtualization administrator to remove all the burden of manual placement of virtual disks, spreadsheets full of data about which VM is stored where, which LUN coming from a given array has feature X enabled, and so on.

And policies can also be changed in real–time, and remediation again will happen automatically.
