- Select the version of the hypervisor.
- Select [Next] to proceed.
- Select the corresponding virtual machines for backup.
- Alternatively, select individual virtual disk for backup by expanding the corresponding VM sub tree.

Note:
Multiple backup schedules of different types can be configured for the same backup set.
