SLP's and VMware type backup policies
As the first operation in the SLP, is "Backup" or "Snapshot" recommended with VMware policies ?
All my VMware policies have the SLP with the first operation as Backup and then Duplication.. and i have not set Snapshot in any of the SLP that i use for Vmware policy type.. its been running fine..
i just did the small test...
created the SLP with snaphost operation and tried to add it to the VMware policy type.. and endeded with the below error, policy validation is failing with the error.
"SLP expects snapshots but backup policy does not create them with SLP management enabled"

so i believe it should be Backup in SLP for the VMware policy as i have been using it from past few months.
