Abstract
An example method of data protection in a virtualized computing system, the virtualized computing system including a host cluster, a virtualization management server connected, and a network manager coupled to a physical network, the host cluster having hosts and a virtualization layer executing on hardware platforms of the hosts, is described. The method includes: receiving a backup request; executing, in response to the backup request, a coupled backup of the virtualization management server and the network manager, including: creating a backup of a first database in the virtualization management server, the first database storing first configuration data for a virtual infrastructure (VI) control plane of the host cluster; creating a backup of a second database in the network manager, the second database storing second configuration data for a logical network deployed in the host cluster; and storing the coupled backup in remote storage.
