Disaster recovery

Prepare for disaster events and recover API Connect on VMware if a disaster event occurs.

You must complete preparation steps prior to a disaster in order to recover API Connect on VMware.

The backups that you create for disaster recovery are for recovery of the API Connect subsystems in the same environment that the backups were taken, or in a different environment that has the same network configuration, API Connect form factor and deployment topology. You cannot use backups to move an API Connect installation to a different environment that has different endpoints.

Note: For information about how to maintain a two data center deployment, including failover and recovery procedures, see Maintaining a two data center deployment.
