Restoring
vCenter Server

The
vCenter Server
 supports restoring a
vCenter Server
 instance from a backup copy. The API simplifies the process by unifying the handling of various components of
vCenter Server
 in a single operation.
The process of restoring a
vCenter Server
 instance from a backup has two phases.
  1. Deploy a new
    vCenter Server
     instance. OVF deployment is described in the
    vSphere Automation
     SDKs Programming Guide
    .
  2. Invoke the
    restore
     operation from the
    to apply configuration settings and load the
    vCenter Server
     database from the backup file.
You cannot specify optional parts for the restore operation. The restore operation includes all optional parts, such as Events and Tasks, that were specified at the time when the backup file was created.
