Restoring data
In this section you will restore the system data that you backed up. Do only one of the following
two procedures, depending on how you backed up the data:
● Procedure One: Restoring data backup (if upgrading from a Pre-1.2 release) on page 271
● Procedure Two: Restoring data backup (If upgrading from R1.2.x through 2.x) on page 272

Note:
The backup and restore processes use the ping service to check connectivity to
the backup server. If a backup or restore operation fails, ensure that the ping
service is enabled:
a. On the Maintenance Web Interface, under Security, select Firewall.
b. In the Service column, find ping.
c. The checkboxes for both Input to Server and Output from Server should be
checked.
