Backing up Virtual Center as VM through VCB

Is there any doc (e.g. best practice, etc.) that suggest any procedure to be followed to backup VC running as VM through VCB ? Is it possible ?

Thanks in advance for your support

It is possible and it works.

Configure the VCB script as a usual VM.

Andre,

   thank you for the answer. How can I manage the restore of the virtual VC from VCB backup when it crash (so VC is not available) ? Could you gently briefly list the main operations ?

Ciao

To restore a VCB backup you can use VMware Converter Standalone.

But the last version does not support anymore the VCB format... so download and install the previous one.
