Reconfigure SFTP Backups for SDDC Manager and NSX Managerīy default, backups of SDDC Manager and NSX Manager are stored in the SDDC Manager appliance.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.
