If you want to activate a previously deleted backup proxy, reactivate backup proxy. When you reactivate an instance of backup proxy, backup proxy establishes a persistent connection with Druva Cloud. The backup proxy is no longer disconnected; instead, it performs a backup of the virtual machines across an ESXi or a vCenter Server following the backup schedule.
To reactivate backup proxy
From the vSphere Client console, click VMs and Templates, and start the backup proxy virtual machine.
Open a terminal on the virtual machine.
📝 Note
Alternatively, you can use a terminal client such as PuTTY to access the backup proxy virtual machine.Log on to the virtual machine.
