decomm backup for vCenter
Hi
When the vCenter is running on a virtual machine, you can use an application consistent backup using the VSA to protect the virtual machine as well as the vCenter database and files. I would also suggest taking a final backup of VMs hosted on the vCenter as well, as it will give you an opportunity to perform restoration for individual VMs.
Thanks,

Hello
I believe you are trying to take backup of vCenter before decommissioning it?
Please take a look at this document once: https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/expert/32029_protecting_and_recovering_vcenter_server.html , it should help.
Best,
Rajiv Singal
