Backup and Restore
The Backup and Restore feature allows you to create a file
containing the configuration of your VCS at a particular date and
time. You can then use this file at a later date to return the VCS
to that state of configuration.
We recommend you create a backup in the following situations:
before performing an upgrade •
before performing a system restore •
in demonstration and test environments if you wish to be able •
to restore the VCS to a known configuration.
The following settings are included in the backup and restore
process:
all configuration settings •
all FindMe user accounts and settings •
administrator policy •
clustering •
security certificates. •
Event logs are not included in the backup.
Limitations
Backups can only be restored to a VCS running the same •
version of software from which the backup was made.
It is possible to create a backup on one VCS and restore it
•
to a different VCS, for example if the original system has
failed. However, before performing the restore you must
install on the new system the same set of option keys that
were installed on the old system. If you do attempt to restore
a backup made on a different VCS, you will receive a warning
message during the upgrade process, but you will be allowed
to continue.
Backups should not be used to copy configuration between
•
VCSs.
Overview Creating a Backup of your VCS Configuration
To create a backup of the VCS’s current configuration:
Navigate to 1. Maintenance > Backup and Restore .
You will be taken to the Backup and Restore page.
Click 2. Create System Backup File .
Once the backup file has been created, a pop-up window will appear giving you the opportunity to save the file (the
other options available will depend on your browser). The default name will be in the format
<hardware serial
number> _ <date> _ <time> _ backup.tar.gz .
Save the file to a designated location. 3.
For specific information about backing up and restoring
Peers in a cluster, refer to the
Backup and Restore
section of the clustering chapter.
