You can restore the backup from three locations:
From your local appliance.
From a remote server. Do not restore the current network settings while the appliance is performing a restore operation from a remote server.
From a USB device connected to your local machine.
Note
You can also restore a backup database belonging to a different appliance model that uses the same build. This feature is useful when you upgrade from one appliance model to another.
Usage guidelines
Follow these usage guidelines when you are restoring the database from a backup file:
The appliance will not be fully operational during the restore operation. For example, the alert detection process will stop during the restore operation.
You cannot cancel the restore operation while it is in process.
If the restore process fails, the Central Management System platform will automatically revert back to the original configuration.
The config backup profile can be restored from a software upgrade. You cannot restore the backup from a software downgrade.
You cannot restore a backup from another product family.
You cannot restore a backup from a release earlier than Central Management System 7.5.0. You can restore a backup from Central Management System 7.5.0 on a Central Management System platform running release 7.6.0.
Admin access
Verify that you have a backup FEBKP file of the current database before you begin the restore operation.
Locate the previous backup you want to restore.
Verify the details for the appliance, backup profile, version, hostname, and date stamp. These details are validated while the restore operation is in process.
