Cloning.
n
VMware vSphere Data Protection, to create backups of the entire appliance.
n
vSphere Replication, to replicate the virtual appliance to another site.
n
VMware Recovery Manager, to enable high availability by backing up the appliance to a different data
center.
You can use snapshots to backup virtual appliances only if you store or replicate them to a location other
than the appliance location. If the snapshot image is accessible after a failure, using it is the most direct
way to recover the appliance.
To preserve only the configuration information for the appliance, back up the following files, preserving the
owner, group, and permissions for each file. These files are also backed up as part of exporting or cloning
an appliance.

Backing Up Load Balancers
Load balancers distribute work among servers in high-availability deployments. The system administrator
backs up the load balancers on a regular basis at the same time as other components.
