VCF components and backup methods

Understanding the backup method used by a VCF component aids in understanding how the VCF component is protected by the backup script. The following tables show the VCF components of the different backup methods.

Table 1. VCF components of file-based backups VCF components of file-based backups
Backup Method Component
File based NSX-T Data Center
SDDC manager
vCenter server
  • Assets of these components are first copied to an external server that uses Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) or another supported protocol. After that, the external server is backed up by PowerProtect Data Manager.
  • If using quick protection, these components are automatically protected.
Table 2. VCF components of image-based backups VCF components of image-based backups
Backup Method Component Automatically discovered
Image based vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager (vRSLCM) VCF 4.0
vRealize Automation VCF 4.1
vRealize Business No
vRealize Log Insight VCF 4.1
vRealize Network Insight No
vRealize Operations Manager VCF 4.1
VxRail Manager No
Workspace ONE Access VCF 4.1
  • Assets of these components are backed up directly by PowerProtect Data Manager.
  • The Automatically discovered column displays the minimum required version of VCF for a component to be automatically discovered, as well as those components that are not automatically discovered by any version of VCF.
  • If using quick protection, the automatically discovered components are automatically protected.

All image-based backups follow the VMware quiescing recommendations for VCF virtual machines that are part of VMware Validated Design (VVD):
