Adding vCloud Director

To work with vApps and VMs managed by VMware vCloud Director, you must add VMware vCloud Director to the backup infrastructure.

1. Launch the New VMware vCloud Director Server wizard
2. Specify a server name or address
3. Specify VMware vCloud Director credentials
4. Specify credentials for underlying VMware vCenter Servers
5. Finish working with the wizard
