Recovering Backup Data With A New Installation - Lexmark C792 Administrator's Manual

9
To keep previous backup sets, make sure Keep previous backups is selected. If this option is selected, data from
each backup is stored in a folder named with the date of the backup within the specified network share folder.
If it is cleared, backup data is stored directly in the specified network share folder, overwriting any previous data.
Note: The database containing the jobs list and the log may be very large. If both Keep Jobs Logs Database
and Keep previous backups are selected, regularly make sure that you have enough space on the network
share where the files are backed up.

Note: When keeping previous backups, you can delete dated backup folders containing entire previous backups as

Recovering backup data with a new installation

In the event a recovery is necessary and you are using a network share backup, a new load balancer or database and
load balancer together can access backup data using a Restore Install.
Note: If only the load balancer has failed, you can restore the load balancer by itself. However, if only the database
has failed, you must restore the database and then restore the load balancer as well.
1
Perform the appropriate installation, proceeding to the final step of the installation wizard without clicking
Finish:
•
If a workgroup system has failed, perform a workgroup installation.
•
If the database and load balancer together or the database only has failed in an enterprise system, install the
database.
•
If only the load balancer has failed in an enterprise system, install the load balancer.
2
Select Restore Install (RI).
3
Type the path of the folder containing the .ri file from the backup data.
or
Click the folder icon and then locate the .ri file from the backup data.
4
Click Finish to complete the Restore Install.
5
If you are using an enterprise system and you just installed the database, repeat steps 1–4 for the load balancer.
6
If you are using an enterprise system, add servers to the system and set them online:
•
If you are installing new servers, see "Installing new servers during recovery" on page 80.
•
If you are using existing servers, see "Connecting existing servers during recovery" on page 80.
7
If the new load balancer is identified by a new IP address or fully qualified domain name:
a
Re-create any LDD printer ports on software clients. For more information, see "Re-creating LDD printer ports
after an address change" on page 81.
b
Change settings for any associated eSF applications that specify the load balancer address using the eSF
Configuration task on the Device Groups tab in LMC. For more information, see "Configuring an eSF application
associated with a solution" on page 85.
