VMware Cloud Foundation 5.x Administrator (2025) — Question 18

Which two steps should an administrator perform to configure the backup of the VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) SDDC Manager and NSX components to allow them to be recovered in the event of a full site failure? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Backup the NSX Manager configuration by exporting it to an archive file.
• B. Configure the backup settings in SDDC Manager.
• C. Configure image-based backup for the NSX Manager cluster.
• D. Prepare an external SFTP server to store file-based backups.
• E. Define a scheduled task in vCenter to create a snapshot of the NSX Edge cluster.

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

The correct answers are B and D because configuring backup settings in SDDC Manager is essential for proper backup management and establishing an external SFTP server is crucial for secure storage. Options A and C focus on specific component backups, which do not ensure comprehensive recovery strategies, while option E relates to snapshots rather than backups, which are different processes.
