5 Server Data restore

•Network share access problem when backup starts or during backup (not when the backup configuration is changed)

Server Data restore

NOTE

You cannot restore data from a previous version of the Management application.

NOTE

You cannot restore data from a higher or lower configuration (Trial or Licensed version) of the Management application.

NOTE

You cannot restore data from a different package of the Management application.

The Management application helps you to protect your data by backing it up automatically. The data can then be restored, as necessary.

The data in the following directories is automatically backed up to disk. The data includes the following items:

•Backup\databases — contains database and log files.

•Backup\data — contains IP product firmware and configurations.

•Backup\conf – contains the Management application configuration files.

In a disaster recovery situation, it is possible that configuration changes made less than 45 minutes before Server loss (depending on the backup interval you set) could be missing from the backup.

Restoring data

NOTE

The restore data files must use the exact directory structure as the backup directory structure (refer to “Back up directory structure overview” on page 129).

1.(Windows) Open the Server Management Console from the Start menu on the Management application server.

OR

(UNIX) Open Install_Home/bin from the Management application server and type ./smc.sh at the command line.

2.Click the Services tab.

The tab lists the Management application services.

3.Click Stop Services to stop all of the services.

4.Click the Restore tab.

5.Browse to the backup location.
