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 Element Manager data files (including Dump files, Data collection
progress files, Director/Switch firmware files FAF files, Switch technical supportSave, and
Switch backup files) and miscellaneous files. .
• Backup\conf – contains the Management application configuration files.
• Backup\cimom – contains the SMIA 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.

The restore data files must use the exact directory structure as the backup directory structure (refer
