Hello,
I am installing a new backup exec server with an IBM LTO. In the environment there are windows and linux systems, almost all virtualized with vmware. What is recommended, make the backup by adding the vcenter and do it through vmware or do it with the agent of the machine (as if it were physical)
Regards

If you backup the VM's as virtual machines, you would be able to restore them as VM's. With GRT, you can restore individual files from your VM backups, but you would require sufficient disk space to stage the entire VM before the files can be restores.

Then the big difference is when we want to restore files. With Agent we can do faster but with vcenter backup the backup exec need to "recover all the machine" to extract the file

Yes, but don't forget that if you backup the VM's as VM's then you can restore them as VM's which is faster than restoring them as physical machines.
