Backing Up Configuration Information with vicfg-cfgbackup

After you configure an ESXi host, you can back up the host configuration data. You should always back up your host configuration after you change the configuration or upgrade the ESXi image.

Important: The vicfg-cfgbackup command is available only for ESXi hosts. The command is not available through a vCenter Server system connection. No equivalent ESXCLI command is supported.
