Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops

Backup and Restore configuration

December 5, 2024

Contributed by:

This feature allows administrators to take a backup of your cloud configurations. It ensures that there is always a copy of your Citrix configurations available, ready to be used. Backup along with the restore feature facilitates the migration of site information from on-premises to the cloud or from one cloud site to another with ease. If accidental changes arise, choose a backup, and select restore, and with a few clicks, you’re up and running again. You can also choose to backup and restore specific components.

The feature allows you to back up and restore the following:

Tags
AdminRoles
AdminScopes
HostConnections

Note:

You can now backup Host Connections. Secrets must be entered each time. A pre-import check mode is performed to only ask secrets for those Host Connections that are imported or updated.
StoreFront
Delivery groups
ApplicationGroups
Applications
AppVIsolationGroups
AppLibPackageDiscovery
GroupPolicies
UserZonePreference
Manually provisioned or PVS provisioned machine catalogs
