2V0-21.23 Question 371

Select 2

An administrator is tasked with configuring a scheduled backup for vCenter Server and wants to ensure that the backup includes all essential data to restore the environment in case of failure. Which type of backup configuration should they choose, and what additional steps may be required for a successful restore?

  1. A

    Enable file-based backup in the vCenter Server Appliance Management Interface (VAMI) and configure an external backup target (e.g., NFS or SMB).

  2. B

    Ensure that the vCenter Server database is backed up separately using database-specific tools.

  3. C

    Perform a manual snapshot of the vCenter Server virtual machine (VM) as a backup solution.

  4. D

    Include the ESXi host logs and configuration in the vCenter Server backup configuration.

  5. E

    Verify that the backup schedule aligns with the organization's Recovery Point Objective (RPO).

Show answer and explanation

Correct answers: A, E

Explanation

The correct steps to configure a reliable vCenter Server backup include enabling file-based backup in VAMI and configuring an external backup target. This ensures a comprehensive backup of vCenter Server data. Additionally, verifying that the backup schedule aligns with RPO ensures that the backups meet organizational requirements for disaster recovery. Other options, such as separate database tools, VM snapshots, or including ESXi host logs, are either unnecessary or not recommended practices for vCenter Server backups.

  • A. Correct.

    Enabling file-based backup in VAMI and configuring an external target is the recommended approach for vCenter Server backups. This ensures that all critical vCenter Server data is included in the backup.

  • B. Incorrect.

    It is not necessary to back up the vCenter Server database separately when using the file-based backup feature since it already includes the database.

  • C. Incorrect.

    Relying on a manual snapshot of the vCenter Server VM is not a best practice for backups. Snapshots are not a reliable or comprehensive backup solution.

  • D. Incorrect.

    ESXi host logs and configuration are not included in vCenter Server backups. These need to be handled separately if required.

  • E. Correct.

    Ensuring the backup schedule aligns with the organization's RPO is critical to meeting disaster recovery objectives and minimizing data loss.
