Restoring the appliance

Restoring the appliance

Restore the appliance using the most recent backup
Upload backup files to the appliance
Restore the appliance from backups
Restore the appliance to factory settings

You can restore appliance data using backup files, provided that backups are enabled and a matching pair of Differential and Base backup files are available. In addition, you can restore the appliance to its factory settings at any time.

Restoring the appliance destroys the data currently configured in the appliance. Quest KACE recommends that you off-load any backup files or data that you want to keep before you restore the appliance. In addition, restoring the appliance requires that the appliance be taken offline. The Administrator Console and the User Console are unavailable during the restore process.

* 
NOTE: To restore files, you must have a matched pair of Differential and Base backup files. Paired backup files reference the same appliance version number and date, and only paired backup files can be used to restore the appliance.

Restore the appliance using the most recent backup

Restore the appliance using the most recent backup

The appliance has a built-in ability to restore settings from the most recent backup directly from the appliance backup drive.

Appliance backups are enabled and you have a matching pair of Differential and Base backup files available. See Disable or enable appliance backups.

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 the Restore appliance to prior backup to go to the Restore Backup page.
3.
In the Onboard Backups tab, select the most recent backup files.
4.
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.

Upload backup files to the appliance

Upload backup files to the appliance

If you have copied your backup files to an off-appliance location, you can upload those files to the appliance manually using the Administrator Console, FTP, or Client Drop location process. FTP and Client Drop location uploads are useful if your backup files are more than 1 GB and uploading them through the Administrator Console causes the browser to time out.

You have copied backup files to an off-appliance location.

5.
Click Upload Files.
The uploaded files appear in the Backups section of the Backup Settings page.
•
To upload your backup files to the appliance using FTP:

▪
Using any FTP client, access ftp k1000.
3.

Username: kbftp

Password: getbxf

* 
NOTE: To change the FTP password, see Configure security settings for the appliance. You cannot change the FTP username.
The uploaded files appear in the Backups section of the Backup Settings page.
•
To use the Client Drop location method for uploading backup files, place your backup files in the Client Drop location on the appliance.
Files placed in the Client Drop location are automatically identified as backup files and they become available for selection on the Backup Settings page within five minutes. See Copy files to the appliance Client Drop location.

Restore the appliance using the uploaded backup files. See Restore the appliance from backups.

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.
