Types of supported VMs is vague #121592

Open ms-vincent opened 7 months ago

ms-vincent commented 7 months ago

Please add clarification on the types of VMs that can be backed up using cloud backup for VMs. In particular, only virtual machines stored on ANF datastores are supported. Any VMs on vSAN are not.

As an example, the following statement can be read as being ambiguous: "Cloud Backup for Virtual Machines is a plug-in installed in the Azure VMware Solution and enables you to back up and restore Azure NetApp Files datastores and virtual machines (VMs)."

The way that this statement can be read is that Cloud Backup allows all VMs to be backed up and restored. A possible way to rephrase this is "Cloud Backup for Virtual Machines is a plug-in installed in the Azure VMware Solution and enables you to back up and restore Azure NetApp Files datastores and virtual machines (VMs) stored on Azure NetApp files".

It would be good if this could be clarified on other CB docs as well. I will be opening up a issue request for other docs that I see which need clarification.

thank you!
