VMware Cloud Foundation 5.x Administrator (2025) — Question 41

After deploying the VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) management domain, an administrator needs to configure file-based backup for the components within the domain.

Which three steps are involved in configuring the backup of VCF management components? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. Configure an external SFTP server within SDDC Manager.
• B. Create a backup schedule for NSX within SDDC Manager.
• C. Install a third-party backup solution on each ESXi host.
• D. Create a backup schedule on the SDDC Manager to automate taking regular backups.
• E. Create a backup schedule for vCenter Server.

Correct answer: A, D, E

Explanation

The correct answers, A, D, and E, involve configuring an SFTP server for storage, automating backups through the SDDC Manager, and scheduling backups for vCenter Server, which are essential for a comprehensive backup strategy. Option B is incorrect because it focuses solely on NSX, which is not a requirement for backing up all management components, and option C is wrong as it suggests installing a third-party solution on each host, which is not necessary when using VCF's built-in backup capabilities.
