Re: vHMC vs Backup HMC Data

Was that a typo? Do you need the Save Upgrade Data or the "Backup HMC
data"?

It's not obsolete, just different kinds of backups. A VM snapshot allows
you to easily revert from eg a failed upgrade, but if you lose the
ESX/vsphere host or data store due to it being infected with ransomware or
a catastrophic hardware failure, you need the 'Save Upgrade Data' to
restore a blank vHMC image.

It's still a good thing to do, because it adds layers to your DR
procedure, and allows you to recover from different kinds of incidents.

I get that as part of upgrading or updating HMC code one should reboot
first and Save Upgrade Data. However with vHMC and the ability to take a
snapshot is "Backup HMC Data" prior to the upgrade obsolete?
