VMware Virtual Disk Development Kit (VDDK)

Overview

The Virtual Disk Development Kit (VDDK) is a collection of C libraries, code samples, utilities, and documentation to help you create and access VMware virtual disk storage. The kit includes sets of C function calls to manipulate virtual disk files, C++ code samples that you can build with either Visual Studio or the GNU C compiler, and documentation about VDDK and vSphere libraries.

vStorage APIs for Data Protection (VADP) is a data protection framework used in conjunction with VDDK to develop backup products that perform centralized agentless backup of vSphere virtual machines.
