What is Commvault's direction for correctly backing up vCenter Server Appliance [VCSA] and to include the Content Library metadata and library contents? The library contents are stored on a vSphere datastore and may include any type of file, including VM Templates Folders (containing .vmtx, .vmdk, .vmsn, .nvram files), .ova, .ovf, .iso, and other file types. So it would seem there needs to be a special backup subclient created to include all of the above contents (not just the Virtual Server Agent [VSA] default subclient).
Perhaps VMware publishes the API and Commvault has a configured the VSA for this task? But I can't find any documentation in Commvault’s extenstive Expert documentation site.
More background: Recently we had reason to backup and restore the vCenter 7.0 U2 VCSA (vCenter Server Appliance) during a new vSphere installation with Cisco and VMware support. At their direction I used the VMware built-in VCSA Backup/Restore functionality. After restoring, noticed that the Content Library "library" was completely missing. Now understanding the limitations of a VCSA backup (it does not include any vSphere datastore) it is clear to me there are going to be several moving pieces that need to their backup orchestrated to get a Content Library backed up or restored. I had also used Google searches hoping to find answers on this topic and did not find anything from VMware or Commvault. I did find some articles for using Veam to perform this task.
Has anyone set up a subclient to backup VCSA Content Libraries?
