Restore the appliance from backups

Restore the appliance from backups

You can restore the appliance from backup files as needed.

If you are restoring files from an off-appliance location, you have uploaded a matching pair of Differential and Base backup files to the appliance. See Upload backup files to the appliance.

If you are migrating an appliance to a new appliance, the two appliances must be the same version. If that is not the case, you must upgrade the old appliance to the version running on the new appliance.

1.
Go to the appliance Control Panel:
◦
If the Organization component is not enabled on the appliance, log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin, then select Settings > Control Panel.
◦
If the Organization component is enabled on the appliance, log in to the appliance System Administration Console, https://appliance_hostname/system, or select System in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page, then select Settings > Control Panel.
2.
On the Control Panel, in the Backup Settings and Restore section, click any of the links to go to the Restore Backup page
Or
Click the Restore appliance to prior backup link to go directly to the Onboard Backups tab on the Restore Backup page.
3.
In the Onboard Backups tab, select the pair of files you want to restore.
4.
If you want to disregard the network configuration from the backup files, and specify a new configuration under Restore Options, select Override Network Configuration, and specify the applicable options.
A set of options appears on this page when you select this check box. They are identical to the appliance network settings that you need to set up during an initial configuration. For complete information, see Change appliance network settings.
5.
Click Restore from Backup, then click Yes to confirm.
The appliance is restored and restarted. The Administrator Console and the User Console are unavailable during the restore process. Progress appears in the browser window.

This process can take up to one hour and the appliance will be unavailable during this time. The amount of time for a restore depends on the size of the backup files. Once the restore completes, the appliance reboots. After the reboot, the appliance will be in the same state as when the backup files were created. This includes the same authentication settings, network settings, and so on.

If the IP settings are not set upon reboot, try rebooting one or two times, to properly set the IP settings. If not they are not set using that method, try using the Console login netdiag/netdiag utility, and update the IP address there.

The appliance is restored and restarted.
