RVTools Export Requirements

✓

vInfo (Required)

VM inventory — name, cluster, power state, OS, tools status, folder

✓

vPartition (Required for storage)

Consumed MB per VM — used to calculate raw protection footprint (Step 3)

○

vDisk (Optional)

Disk types — enables detection of RDM, RAW, and independent disk modes

○

vHost / vCluster (Optional)

Enriches cluster-level summaries and host context

Without vPartition, storage calculations will show 0 TB. Without vDisk, RAW/RDM detection is limited to vInfo disk mode column only.

VMs Without VMware Tools — Snapshot Consistency Risk

These VMs cannot use application-aware protection. Storage for these VMs has been estimated using the assumed overhead % below and added to the total protected footprint.

Storage overhead assumption for no-tools VMs:
