Abstract: A backup policy including user-configured options for backing up a cluster of virtual machines is reviewed. Configuration details for the cluster is obtained from a virtual machine manager of the cluster. An evaluation is made as to whether host-level data movers that run inside hypervisors of hosts of the cluster support the user-configured options in the backup policy and the configuration details of the cluster. If the host-level data movers are supported, the host-level data movers are installed into the hypervisors running on the hosts of the cluster. If the host-level data movers are not supported, one or more of in-guest data movers that run as guests inside the virtual machines to be backed up or backup proxy data movers that run as separate virtual machines and outside the virtual machines to be backed up are provisioned.
