Continuing with the series of posts on vSphere 6.5, in this document we will be able to see another of the novelties that VMware vSphere brought us with its version 6.5, which is nothing more than the possibility of backing up our vCenter Server! In this post, we'll look at how to set up your backup and make backups and we'll also look at how to recover a vCenter Server Appliance if necessary! I hope you enjoy it!

Initial Nakivo Backup Setup & Replication

Continuing with the deployment of Nakivo, after installing it, that you have seen that it had no mystery, or if we have deployed it on an appliance or installed on a NAS.

It will therefore be where we add our virtual infrastructure or cloud, then those that will manage the backups or replicas and finally where we will store the copies!
