EntityBackupConfig
The EntityBackupConfig data object contains VmwareDistributedVirtualSwitch or DistributedVirtualPortgroup backup configuration data produced by the DVSManagerExportEntity_Task method.
It also contains properties that support DVSManagerImportEntity_Task operations.
A DVSManagerExportEntity_Task operation sets properties that identify the entity instance (entityType, key, and name) and inventory location (container). When you import a backup configuration, you can set the key
, name
, and container
properties in accordance with the importType
specified in the call to DVSManagerImportEntity_Task. See EntityImportTypeEnum.

- If you are importing a virtual distributed switch and the import type is applyToEntitySpecified, set the
key
to DistributedVirtualSwitch.uuid. - If you are importing a virtual distributed portgroup and the import type is applyToEntitySpecified, set the
key
to DistributedVirtualPortgroup.key.
The Server ignores the key value when the import operation creates a new entity.
Name of the exported entity or the entity to be restored with the backup configuration.
If you are importing an entity and the import type is applyToEntitySpecified, the Server will use this value to rename the existing entity.
