Abstract: An example method of data protection in a virtualized computing system, which includes host clusters, a virtualization management server, and a network manager coupled to a physical network, each host cluster having hosts and a virtualization layer executing on hardware platforms of the hosts, is described. The method includes receiving, at the virtualization management server, a restore request; executing, at the virtualization management server in response to the restore request, restoration of a coupled backup of the virtualization management server and the network manager, the coupled backup including a backup of a first database of the virtualization management server and a backup of a second database of the network manager, the restoration including: restoring at least one of the first database and the second database from the coupled backup; repairing runtime state of at least one of the host clusters to make the runtime state consistent with the restoration.

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.
