Question about backup of VCSA 6.7

I seemed to have searched the world over but cannot find an answer

I have vcsa 6.7 setup and running

I also have a separate Platform service controller also 6.7

When I log into the vCenter Server Appliance Management Interface,

it says Backup.

There is no problem with backing up I was wondering that when it

does the backup does it also backup the separate

Platform Service Controller?  If not can you point me where to find

this information?!

No, you have to back up each separate appliance. Just curious, why a separate PSC?

Consider giving Kudos if you think my response helped you in any way.

We are trying to embed this with the vcsa and I am trying to back them both up before we do!!

I got a backup of the vcsa but I have been unable to find instructions on how to backup the

PSC

There is VAMI interface in both of VC & PSC (in external deployment) and you should see Backup option in VAMI after release of vSphere 6.5. If you don't see that, can you put a screen from your PSC VAMI console?

This is what is in the directory S_6.7.0.32000_20200309-065909_

I'm guessing that this is the vCenter Server?
