Backing Up ESXi Configs Automatically
Mar.11, 2009 in
Virtualization
Just a simple script to back up ESXi configs to a file on a remote Windows Server:
Set ESXiPassword=[put your password here]
perl “C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware VI Remote CLI\bin\vicfg-cfgbackup.pl” –server [hostname of server] –username root –password %ESXiPassword% -s [path to .cfg file for backup]
Yes, it’s simple for a single server, but you can enter all of your servers in one place and backup all of their configs all at once. Throw it into a batch script and run as a scheduled task.
