Troubleshooting VCSA 6.7 Backup Schedules with Devoirs Remote Desktop Manager

The VMware vCenter Server Appliance (vCSA) 6.7 has introduced a long-awaited feature - backup schedules, which can be managed using the Devoirs Remote Desktop Manager. In this article, we will explore how to troubleshoot and understand the backup schedule log files in the /var/log/vmware/applmgmt folder on the vCSA.

The backup schedule log files are base64 encoded, making them unreadable in their original form. However, by decoding these files, you can gain valuable insights into the backup process, including comments associated with each backup, the date and time of creation, and more.

The folder structure for manual and scheduled backups is similar, with a common layout that makes it easy to query and retrieve metadata for all backups. The VCSA 6.7 Backup Schedule Folder Structure provides a clear outline of how these files are organized.

Once you have created a few manual and automatic backups, you may notice that the backup files have different naming structures. While this process is largely self-explanatory, it's worth noting that the schedule can be set up using either the API, CLI, or through the user interface (UI).

In conclusion, the vCSA 6.7 Backup Schedule feature has been a highly requested addition to the vSphere 6.7 release. With Devoirs Remote Desktop Manager, you now have the tools to manage and troubleshoot your backup schedules with ease, ensuring that your virtual infrastructure is secure and protected.
