Disaster recovery and restoration scenarios

Prev Next
  • Make sure to perform repair using latest Service Pack1 Update x build. For more information see KB96141.

  • ePO - On-prem package ePO 5.10.0.4098.4 or later is the supported package for disaster recovery of ePO - On-prem 5.10.0 Service pack 1 Update x.

  • If Trellix ePO-On-prem 5.10.0 cumulative Update 1 to cumulative Update 15 was applied after taking the snapshot on the previous Trellix ePO-On-prem 5.10.0 server,

    • You must perform disaster recovery with Trellix ePO-On-prem 5.10.0.2428.68, then perform the repair function using the same cumulative Update that was applied and backup was taken on Trellix ePO-On-prem 5.10.0.

    • For example, if you have applied cumulative update 14 after taking the snapshot on the previous Trellix ePO-On-prem 5.10.0 server, you must perform the repair function using the same cumulative update 14.

  • We recommend performing the manual disaster recovery in the cluster environment for ePO - On-prem 5.10.0 cumulative Update 2 to Update 15.

  • Do not use the SP1 (ePO 5.10.0.4098.4 ) or later build to restore a previous backup of ePO that had SP1 installed. Instead, to upgrade to the latest SP1 (ePO 5.10.0.4098.4) or later build, it is recommended to perform a repair using the latest SP1 Update (ePO 5.10.0.4098.4) or later build.

  • If ePO - On-prem 5.10.0 cumulativeUpdate15 is upgraded to SP1 Update (epo_5.10.0_servicepack1update.zip ), and disaster recovery is performed using SP1 (ePO 5.10.0.4098.4) then perform repair using epo_5.10.0_servicepack1update.zip.

In a standalone environment

To recover your Trellix ePO-On-prem server in a standalone environment, you can use one of the following two methods:

  • Disaster Recovery Snapshot

  • Manual Disaster Recovery

Before restoring your data, you must install fresh ePO 5.10.0.4098.4 or later as mentioned in the Installation guide.

Important

Make sure that the new installation path matches with the previous installation path. For example,

Version

Installation Path
