  • determining information for targets of all of said virtual machines that span over one or more of said hosts;

    accessing said targets of virtual machines that span over one or more of said hosts and creating individual virtual machine-level checkpoints for said targets;

    identifying cluster hosts for a backup rollover of the targets of said individual virtual machines, and balancing the backup data load of said virtual machine targets among said identified hosts;

    backing up the data of said virtual machines targets using said identified hosts; and
