1. At least one tangible non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions, which when executed by at least one data processing device, perform a method for creating a secondary copy of data and metadata of a virtual machine that has a mapped logical unit number, the method comprising: discovering a virtual machine; wherein the discovering includes determining a virtual disk for the virtual machine, and wherein the virtual disk stores production or primary data used by the virtual machine; discovering a mapped logical unit number (LUN) for the virtual machine, wherein the LUN is a number used to identify a logical unit; causing a snapshot of the virtual disk to be obtained, wherein the snapshot is a set of pointers that reference data and metadata as the data and metadata existed at a particular point in time; causing a snapshot of the mapped LUN to be obtained; and, creating a secondary copy of the virtual machine from the snapshot of the virtual disk or the snapshot of the mapped LUN.
