Configuring Backup And Restore

The backup and restore function backs up the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenterdatabase to a remote location from which it can be restored at a later date. Profiles, templates, and host information are included in the backup. It is recommended that you schedule automatic backups to guard against data loss. After this procedure, you must configure a backup schedule.
  1. In OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter, on the Summary tab, use the link to open the Administration Console.

  2. In the Login dialog box, type your password.

  3. In the left pane, click BACKUP AND RESTORE.

  4. To edit the current backup and restore settings, click Edit.

  5. In the Settings and Details page, do the following:

    1. In the Backup Location text box, type the path to the backup files.

    2. In the User Name text box, type the user name.

    3. In the Password text box, type the password.

    4. Under Enter the password used to encrypt backups, type the encrypted password in the text box.

      The encryption password can contain alpha numeric characters and the following special characters: !@#$%*. There is no length restriction.

    5. In the Verify Password text box, retype the encrypted password.

  6. To save these settings, click Apply.
