A backup is an image of a virtual machine (VM) disk that is used to restore it. Unlike custom images, backups contain all VM settings. For example, network settings, passwords, etc.
Backups are created in the image storage directory on the cluster node where the original VM is located. When a VM is migrated, the backups are moved with it to another node in the cluster. When you delete a VM, its backups are deleted.
