Restoring the database from a backup file using the web UI

Use the Backup and Restore page to restore the database from a backup file.

This illustration is from an Email Security — Server appliance, but it is representative of FX appliances as well.

To restore the database from a backup file:

Click the Settings tab.
Click Appliance Backup & Restore on the sidebar.
Locate the backup FEBKP file you want to restore in the Backup Name (Profile) column.
You have the option to restore everything using a full profile or restore portions using one of the other profiles.
If you selected Remote Server, scroll down to enter the location of the remote backup file in the Remote URL or SCP box:
```
{scp|sftp}://<username>:<password>@<hostname>/<filePath>
```
where <username> and <password> are remote server Administrator credentials, <hostname> is the remote host, and <filepath> is the full path of the backup file.
Then select the profile you want to restore from the drop-down list.
(Optional) Clear the Exclude Network Settings checkbox to include the network settings from the backup file. By default, the network settings are not included in the restore operation.
Caution
Do not restore the current network settings while the appliance is performing a restore operation from a remote server.
Click Restore to restore the backup.
In the confirmation dialog box, click Yes.
Note
The appliance will not be fully operational during the restore operation. You cannot cancel the restore operation while it is in process.

You must reinstall the guest images and license keys separately.
