The Catalogic DPX Client for Microsoft Windows: client-only vs. full version

There are two versions of the Catalogic DPX Client for Microsoft Windows: the client-only version and the full version.

In most cases, the client-only version suffices. To protect VMs in VMware virtual environment, deploy the Catalogic DPX Proxy Server virtual appliance in the same VMware environment.

Instead of deploying the Catalogic DPX Proxy Server virtual appliance, you can install the proxy server as an application along with the Catalogic DPX Client in the same Microsoft Windows machine. In other words, if you are planning to deploy the proxy server virtual appliance in the VMware environment or if you are not using the VMware solution at all, use the client-only version.

See also. Virtualization proxy servers coordinate operations for Agentless Backups of other virtual machines. As mentioned, do not install the Catalogic DPX Client on this virtual machine if you are planning to use the Agentless Backup with this client node.
