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.
The files in the outbound alert plug-
ins 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 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.
The files and directories in the
vCenter Operations Manager collector
adapters directory are updated
whenever adapters are added and
removed from the system. Back up this
directory, on the
vCenter Operations Manager server
and any remote server, after
installation and after installing any
new adapters.
These file and directories are not
overwritten during
vCenter Operations Manager
software upgrades unless a code
change occurs to a adapter.
vcenter-
ops
\user\config\collector
vCenter Operations Manager collector
configuration directory. It contains files
that include parameters for the
CollectorService and the trap listener.
The files in the
vCenter Operations Manager collector
configuration 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
vCenter Operations Manager
software upgrades.
vcenter-
ops
\uninstall_vcops\installvar
iables.properties
Install variables file. It contains key data
from the initial install, which is reused
for upgrades and the vCenter
Operations adapter.
The install variables file is rarely
updated after
vCenter Operations Manager is in
production. Back it up after
installation. This file is overwritten
during vCenter Operations Manager
software upgrades.
