OVA backup
OVA backup
(OP)
Hi,
We have installed communication manager application using VMware ESXi on a virtual machine, we also configured complete database of the site requirement. We now wants to take a backup OVA file on our Laptop (like we use to take image of HDD and this image can be restore in case of machine crash). I am not expert in managing virtual machines, can somebody guide a simple procedure how to take an OVA on Laptop? DO i also have to shutdown the application before taking backup of OVA?

Here's an example I found from a Google search: https://masteringvmware.com/how-to-export-vm-as-a-....
I don't get the option to export as an OVA. From the documentation: In vSphere 6.5 and later, you cannot export OVA templates, OVF templates is the only option.
