vCD and vFabric AppDir Infrastructure Backups

Here's the environment:

  • ESXi 5.5 with vCenter 5.5
  • vCloud Director 5.5
  • vCenter Orchestrator
  • vFabric Application Director 6

The only item in this whole chain that is being backed up is the vCenter database...  I'm afraid.  Here are the infrastructure VMs:

  • 2 x vCloud Director cells
  • Connection server
  • SQL database server
  • vCenter (appliance I believe)
  • vCenter Orchestrator (appliance)
  • vFabric Application Director (appliance)
  • Infrastructure Navigator
  • vShield Manager
  • Update Manager
  • vRealize Ops Manager (appliance)
  • vShield edge devices

As most of the research I've done so far is centred around backing up vApps and VMs in a vCloud Director environment, it was suggested by my local VMware SE that I should poll the community here and read the blogs here as well.  What would one suggest to adequately back up the above environment other than the 156 VMs that are present in the various vApps that is...

Suggested reading or any resources that would be suggested??
