New Script: Backup VMware Virtual Distributed Switches V1.00

I wrote an article on how to Backup the vCenter Server Appliance using NFS and then needed to figure out how to restore the backup. In VMware’s article on restoring a vCenter server, I saw this:

“If you use a distributed virtual switch, you are advised to export
separately the distributed virtual switch configuration before you
restore to a backup. You can import the configuration after the restore. If you omit this consideration, you may lose the changes made to a distributed virtual switch after the backup.
