Application onboarding wizard

To manage your application, the management console must discover the applications, VMs, and Cloud instances managed through its appliances.

Use the Application Back up wizard to discover applications within a host or in a VM. Once you discover one or more applications, VMs, or cloud instances, you can protect them all at once by applying a backup template and profile or you can add them to the management console as unmanaged or ignored.
