Upgrading to VMware VCF 9.1? Think twice before writing your rollback plan—there isn’t one. Backup methods vary by component, and key items like the credentials DB have no native backup. Restore means a complete rebuild. #VMware #VCF #vSphere #ITOps
What you have to be able to restore
Broadcom’s VCF 9.1 backup methods vary by component, requiring SFTP or third-party tools. Crucially, the License Server and SDDC Manager credentials database (from 9.1.1) lack native backups, and there is no documented rollback procedure—meaning recovery relies entirely on complete rebuilds.
