You can back up configuration data of a Horizon Connection Server instance by exporting the contents of its View LDAP repository.
You use the vdmexport command to export the View LDAP configuration data to an encrypted LDIF file. You can also use the vdmexport -v (verbatim) option to export the data to a plain text LDIF file, or the vdmexport -c (cleansed) option to export the data as plain text with passwords and other sensitive data removed.
You can run the vdmexport command on any Connection Server instance. If you have multiple Connection Server instances in a replicated group, you only need to export the data from one instance. All replicated instances contain the same configuration data.
Prerequisites
- Locate the vdmexport.exe command executable file installed with Connection Server in the default path.
C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware View\Server\tools\bin
- Log in to a Connection Server instance as a user in the Administrators or Administrators (Read only) role.

What to do next
You can restore or transfer the configuration information of Connection Server by using the vdmimport command.
