Restoring Data from a Backup

Restoring Data from a Backup

Use this page to restore data from the View database that was backed up earlier. You can restore data from an incremental or full backup. If you choose to restore incremental backup data, ACS restores the full View data backup and then the rest of the incremental backups one at a time in the correct sequence.

To restore data from a backup:

Step 1 Choose Monitoring Configuration > System Operations > Data Management > Restore.

The Incremental Backup Restore page appears, displaying the Available Backups to Restore table. Table 15-2describes the columns in the table.

Table 15-2 Incremental Backup Restore Page

Column	Description
Skip View	Check this check box to skip the Monitoring & Report Viewer database backup before restoring data
Database backup	from a backup. This option, when checked, hastens the restore process.
before Restore	We recommend that you uncheck this check box because your current data might be lost if a failure
	occurs during the restore process.
Name	Name of the backup file. The backup filename includes the time stamp; for example,
	ACSViewBackup-20090618_003400.
	For an incremental backup, click the Expand icon to view the associated full and incremental backups.
Date	Date on which the backup is run.
Repository	Name of the repository that contains the backup file.
Type	The type of backup, Incremental or Full.

Step 2 Choose a backup file that you want to restore.

Note If you choose an incremental backup file to restore, ACS restores all previously associated incremental and full backups. This restore process restores only the Monitoring & Report Viewer data.

Step 3 Click Restore to restore the backup file.
