The domain.vcd option specifies the vCloud vApps to include when the backup-archive client processes a Backup VAPP command where the domain is not specified on the command line.
The domain.vcd option works with the vcdhost option. The vcdhost option identifies the vCloud Director server that manages the vApps that you want to protect. The domain.vcd option narrows the focus of the Backup VAPP command to a subset of the vApps in an organization and an organization virtual data center.
All vApps that are included on this domain.vcd option are processed by a backup vapp command that does not specify which vApps to process. To selectively backup vApps, include the vApps that you want to process on the vApp specification parameters on the backup vapp command. For more information about selectively backing up vApps, see Backup VAPP.
The restore vapp and query vapp commands do not globally process all vApps defined on this domain.vcd statement. Instead, you specify the vApps that you want to process on the vApp specification parameters on the on the command line. For more information about including vApps in a restore or query operation, see Restore VAPP or Query VAPP.
This option is valid for Linux clients that are configured to perform vCloud Director vApp backups.
This option is valid for Windows clients that are configured to perform vCloud Director vApp backups.
Set this option in the client options file (dsm.opt), or on the command line.

The following are examples showing vApp domains specified on the domain.vcd option in the client options file.
“org=Org1,orgvdc=Org1_vdc”
To
include all vApps in multiple organizations and organization virtual
data centers, specify each domain and separate them with a semicolon.“org=Haifa,orgvdc=vdc1;
org=Mainz,orgvdc=vdc2;org=SanJose,orgvdc=vdc4”
