Backing up and restoring

You can backup and restore API Connect on VMware

Backups 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.

See the instructions for your version of API Connect.
Note: For information about how to maintain a two data center deployment, including backup and restore considerations, see Maintaining a two data center deployment.
