To back up the Workspace ONE Access and vRealize Suite components in the Software-Defined Data Center, you create full virtual machine image-level backup jobs by using your VADP-compatible backup solution.

To ensure that all management components are backed up correctly, you must create a series of backup jobs that capture the state of a set of related components at a common point in time. With some components, simultaneous backups of the component nodes ensure that you can restore the component to a state where the nodes are logically consistent with each other and eliminate the necessity for further logical integrity remediation of the component.

Prerequisites

  • Verify that you implemented a VADP-compatible backup solution to take image-level backups to a target in a separate fault domain.

  • Verify that the backup target has sufficient disk space to store the backups.

  • If your VADP-compatible backup solution does not support backup of OVF properties, retrieve the OVF properties of each virtual machine for which you configure an image-based backup job.

    1. In the vSphere Client, navigate to the virtual machine.

    2. Click the Configure tab, click vApp options.

    3. Locate the Properties panel and record the key-value pairs.

Procedure

  1. Log in to your VADP-compatible backup solution by using a set of credentials with permissions to create backup jobs.
  2. Create backup jobs by using these configurations.
  3. Schedule the backups to run on a daily basis.
  4. Retain each backup for a minimum of three days.

What to do next

Validate that you created each backup job successfully.
