VCF components and backup methods

Understanding the backup method used by a VCF component aids in understanding how the VCF component is protected by the backup script. The following table shows the VCF components of the different backup methods.

Table 1. VCF component of file-based backups
Backup Method	Component
File based	NSX-T Data Center
	SDDC Manager
	vCenter Server

Assets of these components are first copied to an external server that uses secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) or another supported protocol. After that, the external server is backed up by Avamar.

Table 2. VCF components of image-based backups
Backup Method	Component	Automatically discovered
Image based	vRealize Suite LifeCycle Manager (vRSLCM)	VCF 4.0
	vRealize Automation	VCF 4.1
	vRealize Business	No
	vRealize Log Insight	VCF 4.1
	vRealize Network Insight	No
	vRealize Operations Manager	VCF 4.1
	VxRail Manager	No
	Workspace ONE Access	VCF 4.1

Assets of these components that use an image-based backup method are backed up directly by Avamar.
The Automatically discovered column displays the minimum required version of VCF for a component to be automatically discovered, as well as those components that are not automatically discovered by any version of VCF.
If using quick protection, the automatically discovered components are automatically protected.
