Virtualization offers several advantages for backup and recovery operations, which are the backbone of data protection, operational continuity, and availability. Most importantly, virtualization makes agentless and image-based, host-level backups possible. These types of backups can capture the full VM, including VM configuration as well as VM data. However, it’s important to protect hosts too, as healthy ESXi hosts are important for VMs to run properly.

ESXi is usually provided with the default configuration that includes a set of standard drivers and software tools for a specific version. This set of tools and drivers differs from one ESXi version to another. When running ESXi hosts, you may need to install additional drivers for the installed hardware, install software, or update software components or drivers. In this case, installing VIB files on ESXi is what you need.
