Before you perform quick migration, check the following prerequisites:
- Backup infrastructure components that will take part in quick migration must be added to the backup infrastructure and properly configured. These include the source and target ESX(i) hosts.

- If you want use VMware vSphere vMotion to relocate VMs between hosts and/or VMware vSphere Storage vMotion to relocate VM disks between datastores, make sure that you have a VMware vSphere license covering these features.
