When backing up regular or standalone VMs in vCloud Director, Veeam's Backup & Replication captures and stores the VM disk content, Raw device mapping, and VM metadata. These components are essential for restoring the VM to its original state. The VM disk content includes the actual data stored on the VM's virtual disks. Raw device mapping allows a VM to directly access a physical storage device, which is crucial for certain configurations. VM metadata contains important information about the VM's configuration, ensuring it can be properly recreated on restoration.
