[id="vsphere-pv-backup_{context}"]
= Backing up VMware vSphere volumes
{product-title} provisions new volumes as independent persistent disks to freely attach and detach the volume on any node in the cluster. As a consequence, it is not possible to back up volumes that use snapshots, or to restore volumes from snapshots. See link:https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.7/com.vmware.vsphere.vm_admin.doc/GUID-53F65726-A23B-4CF0-A7D5-48E584B88613.html[Snapshot Limitations] for more information.
.Procedure
To create a backup of persistent volumes:
. Stop the application that is using the persistent volume.
. Clone the persistent volume.
. Restart the application.
. Create a backup of the cloned volume.
. Delete the cloned volume.
