Table 10-1. System File Backup Guidelines (Continued)
System File Directory Description Backup Guidelines
vcenter-ops
\user\plugins\outbound
Outbound alert plug-ins directory. It
contains alert notification formats that
vCenter Operations Manager uses.
Files in this directory are rarely updated
after vCenter Operations Manager is in
production. Back up the directory after
vCenter Operations Manager is installed
and configured and again if you make any
changes to the notification configuration.
vcenter-ops
\collector
vCenter Operations Manager collector
adapters directory. It contains all of the
currently installed and configured collector
adapters and their configurations.
Files and subdirectories in this directory
are updated whenever you add or remove
adapters. Back up this directory, on the
vCenter Operations Manager server and
any remote server, after installation and
after installing any new adapters.
The installer does not overwrite these files
and directories during software upgrades
unless adapter code has changed.
vcenter-ops
\user\config\collector
vCenter Operations Manager collector
configuration directory. It contains files that
include parameters for the CollectorService
and the trap listener.
Files in this directory are rarely updated
after vCenter Operations Manager is in
production. Back up this directory, on the
vCenter Operations Manager server and
any remote server, after installation and
after installing any new adapters.
This directory and its files are copied to
the
vcenter-ops
\save directory during
vCenter Operations Manager software
upgrades.
vcenter-
ops
\uninstall_vcops\installvariab
les.properties
Install variables file. It contains key data
from the initial install, which is reused for
upgrades and the vCenter Operations
adapter.
Rarely updated after
vCenter Operations Manager is in
production. Back up this file after
installation. This file is overwritten
during vCenter Operations Manager
software upgrades.
vcenter-
ops
\activemq\conf\log4j.propertie
s
ActiveMQ logging properties file. It
contains log4j parameters for ActiveMQ
logging.
Rarely updated after
vCenter Operations Manager is in
production. Back up this file after
installation. Ths file is overwritten during
vCenter Operations Manager software
upgrades.
vcenter-ops
\user\logs
vCenter Operations Manager log files,
which include the optional
vCenter Operations Manager Logs and the
vCenter Operations Manager Collector
Logs.
Files in this directory are rolled over on a
daily basis. By default,
vCenter Operations Manager is
configured to keep up to seven daily log
files of each type, but you can adjust this
limit. To retain a copy of these files, you
can back up this directory regularly on the
vCenter Operations Manager server and
remote servers.
You can copy log files at any time without
stopping vCenter Operations Manager
services. To restore these log files, you
must stop vCenter Operations Manager
services.
