This section of the documentation provides instructions on backing up and restoring SDDC Manager, NSX-T Data Center and vCenter Server. Using an external SFTP server provides better protection against failures because it decouples NSX-T Data Center backups from SDDC Manager.īy default, VMware Cloud Foundation does not configure any file-based or image-based backup protection for the vCenter Servers. It is recommended that you configure an external SFTP server as a backup location for the following reasons:Īn external SFTP server is a prerequisite for restoring SDDC Manager file-based backups. You can also define a backup retention policy to comply with your company's retention policy.īy default, NSX Manager file-based backups are taken and stored on an SFTP server that is built into the SDDC Manager appliance. When task-based backups are enabled, a backup is triggered after each SDDC Manager task such as workload domain and host operations or password rotation. File-based backup is recommended for customers who are not using composable servers.įor a file-based backup of the SDDC Manager appliance, you can configure a backup schedule and enable task-based (state-change driven) backups. You can backup and restore SDDC Manager with a file-based or an image-based solution. Immediately before performing a system upgrade. In addition, as a best practice, you can take on-demand manual backups in the following use cases:Īfter resolving asynchronously reported errors in SDDC components.Īfter resolving an incomplete workflow in SDDC Manager.Īfter noting the failure of a scheduled backup of an SDDC component.
SOS ONLINE BACKUP RETRIVAL UPDATE
You implement scheduled backups to prepare for:Ī critical failure of a management component.Ī certificate update of a management component. Regular backups of the management components ensures that you can keep your environment operational if a data loss or failure occurs.
