{% tab title="VMware vSphere" %}
To perform a backup using VMware vSphere:

* A paid license is required in order to be able to use VMware API for backups
* Make sure the VMware ESX version is compatible with version 6.0 and above.
* If the Virtual machine has the option Changed Block Tacking (CBT), YooBackup will perform an incremental backup, otherwise it will be a differential backup.
* The [connector](https://docs.yoobackup.fr/~/edit/drafts/-LWjtVvwDwbXk_mJzQSr/v/english/installation/installation-des-agents-de-sauvegarde/configuration-connecteur-vmware) needs to be configured in the interface, only the vSphere (or vCenter) IP, login, and password are needed to configure the connector integration.
* Associate a single virtual machine with a backup job if you want to enable OneClick Restart
