Maintaining a back-up of the PSC configuration ensures continued VMware vSphere access for VMware
vCenter Server components. The vCenter Server Appliance supports a file based backup and restore. In
vSphere 6.5, the vCenter Server Appliance Management Interface is used to create a file-based backup
of the vCenter Server Appliance and Platform Services Controller.

6.5 Documentation Center, located here:
ESXi and vCenter Server 6.5 Documentation > vSphere

For VMware vSphere 6.x, if the primary external PSC fails and there are multiple PSCs that are
replicating without fault tolerance configured, you need to repoint the vCenter Server for authentication.
Refer to the
Repointing the Connections Between vCenter Server and PSC
section of the
vSphere
Installation and Setup Guide
. You can find the section here:
ESXi and vCenter Server 6.x
