Apigee Component Backup versus Complete VM Backup

During the Apigee Component Backup, the backup command stops the component & Edge gateway cannot process transactions during the backup window.
However the complete Virtual Machine backup doesn't require any shutdowns & hence doesn't impact processing of transactions.

I would like to know which approach is recommended by Apigee with minimum impact on transaction processing.

Also how difficult is to restore the components from a VM Backup?

HI @Ankit,

I would recommend to use the individual component backup approach as it gives a flexibility to restore a individual component as and when needed. HA setup is highly recommend for production planet and it gives a flexibility to take a node down to perform any update/backup/restore without impacting your runtime traffic. Hope this helps.

Thanks,
