# Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager UI Plugin

## General

Integration with the OLVM Virtualization interface allows administrators to perform most of the basic operations without logging into the Storware Backup & Recovery dashboard.

After installation (which is described at the end of this article) you will see a new tab "VM Backups" in the OLVM menu.

### Dashboard

As usual, it contains a short summary of the environment along with a handful of statistics.

### Policies

Allows you to create policies for VM's backups and snapshots. It basically has the same functionalities as Storware Backup & Recovery WebUI.

### Schedules

As with the policies tab, it allows you to create schedules for the created rules.

### Mounted Backups

Finally, you can also browse your mounted backups from the OLVM dashboard. You only need to enter the backup details using the menu on the right.

From here we can see the basic information about the backup and start browsing the files using the "Browse" button on the right.

Just select a folder or file and then press the "download selected" button to have the files on your computer.
