or click the stop button ( ) near the progress bar.

Once a virtual machine is successfully backed up, the newly created backup appears in the Backups

2.4.3 Applying a backup plan
Applying a backup plan to a virtual machine enables you to automate creating and deleting the
machine's backups.
Depending on how the backup service is configured, you may be able to create your own backup
plans, apply backup plans shared by the system administrator, or both.
To apply a backup plan to virtual machines
1. Select one or more virtual machines in the All virtual machines list, or select an entire vApp in
the vApps list. If you select an entire vApp, the backup plan will be applied to all machines in the
vApp and to any new machines that appear in the future.
2. Click Apply backup plan.
