Topic Name : Finish Virtual Machine Template Creation

Publication Name : vSphere Virtual Machine Administration

Question :

Please add a topic that addresses backing up templates (i.e. that the template should be converted into a VM first - unless 3rd party backup software supports it).  That sort of thing.  Thank you!

If you don't want to use a backup solution, you can create multiple clones of a template and store them in different locations. Additionally, you can make use of Content Library to store the template on a single repo and have access to it from multiple vCenters.

VM Templates and vApp Templates in Content Libraries
