Now the fact this is a VM does not limit the option to install a “physical agent” in order to protect this particular VM. Last but least also the option to install the Veeam Agent to test Backup and Restore. also the fact I will re-utilise this VM again as Linux Backup Repository for Veeam Backup & Replication in my home lab. What I really like about this installation is the fact that this particular VM will sit on the HPE StoreVirtual Datastore. In particular this will focus on the configuration steps within a VMware vSphere environment including the setup for Open-VM-tools. In this article we are going to cover the main steps to install Linux Ubuntu in a VMware environment. For the latest copy of the Open VM Tools source code, see the GitHub Web site at.
The open-vm-tools-debuginfo package contains the source code for open-vm-tools and binary files. The open-vm-tools-devel package contains libraries and additional documentation for developing vmtoolsd plug-ins and applications. The package also allows you to copy and paste between host and guest OSs, as well as to drag and drop between guests and a host for the VMware Workstation and VMware Fusion products. The package enables you to resize a guest display to match its host console window or the VMware Remote Console Window for vSphere. 
The open-vm-tools-desktop package is optional and includes additional user programs and libraries to improve the interactive functionality of desktop operations of your virtual machines. This package includes features as, synchronizing guest OS clocks with the virtualization platform, transferring files between hosts and guests, sending heartbeat information from guest OSs to the virtualization infrastructure to support vSphere High Availability (HA), publishing resource utilization and networking information of the guest OSs to the virtualization platform, and so on. 
The core open-vm-tools package contains the core open-vm-tools user space utilities, application programs, and libraries, including vmtoolsd, to help effectively manage communication between your host and guest OSs. For better managing guest operating systems, the open-vm-tools suite includes the following packages:
