    <description>&lt;P&gt;You may also want to consider separately backing up the Virtual Distributed switch if you have one, which allows you to restore the Distributed switch independently of other backup mechanisms&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;See VMware docs -&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.networking.doc/GUID-BE48C292-F222-4095-BCF8-D6444A785E16.html" target="_self"&gt;Backing Up and Restoring a vSphere Distributed Switch Configuration&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>vCenter back up</title>
      <link>https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-vCenter-Discussions/vCenter-back-up/m-p/2969616#M48257</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have 4 servers with ESXi 7.0.&lt;BR /&gt;There is one vCenter 7.0.3 deployed.&lt;BR /&gt;All 4 servers are doing a vSAN cluster with DRS and HA.&lt;BR /&gt;Now I have to delete everything but I want to be able to recover all the actual configuration in the future.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;What is the best / easiest / quickest way?&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;I thought of doing a vCenter back up now, then in the future I will just have to install ESXi again on the servers, deploy a vCenter again and restore the back up copy.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks in advance.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;You need to configure backup of VCSA , but your other virtual machine will not restore for vms required other back up solution&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.ubackup.com/enterprise-backup/vcenter-backup.html" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.ubackup.com/enterprise-backup/vcenter-backup.html&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDj-R99b6sY&amp;amp;t=67s" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDj-R99b6sY&amp;amp;t=67s&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>As other poster has said, you need to back up the VMs separately. Also the backup of vCenter will be dependant on the base ESXi's being configured with same IP/hostnames again first. So you might want to record these settings too. &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://communities.vmware.com/html/@DCF4E2F7991292CEECF250394DB2C2BC/emoticons/1f642.png" alt=":slightly_smiling_face:" title=":slightly_smiling_face:" /&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;thank you, Markey!&lt;BR /&gt;but, vCenter buck up does include VDSs, right?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;It does indeed. This is just a mechanism to backup/restore the vDS independently, should you have a need to.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Just thought i'd mention it, in case it was useful for your requirements&amp;nbsp;&lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://communities.vmware.com/html/@69B3F769431606C22F8503450B1B2022/emoticons/1f60a.png" alt=":smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:" title=":smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
