Detailed Description

This cmdlet adds VMware CDP proxies to the backup infrastructure. When you add a proxy, you assign the role of the CDP proxy to a Windows-based or Linux-based server. Note that the server to which you want to set a role of the CDP proxy, must be added to the backup infrastructure.

Run the Add-VBRWinServer cmdlet to add a Microsoft Windows server to the backup infrastructure or the Add-VBRLinux cmdlet to add a Linux server.
