You can back up NSX Manager data by performing an on-demand backup or a scheduled backup. Backups can be scheduled on an hourly, daily, or weekly basis.

You can back up and restore your NSX Manager data, including system configuration, events, and audit log tables. Configuration tables are included in every backup. Backup and restore can be configured from the NSX Manager virtual appliance web interface or through the REST API. Restore is only supported on the same NSX Manager version as the backup. The backup file is saved to a remote location that the NSX Manager can access via FTP or SFTP.
