Restoring alerts using dbadmin.bat

You can restore archived alerts and packet logs from either the Network Security Platform
user interface or from the standalone Database Admin tool. However, you can avoid the
additional workload on Manager by using the Database Admin tool.
To restore data, the archived data should either be in Manager server or in a computer
that is accessible from Manager server. You can also filter data from an archived file and
restore just the filtered data. Suppose that there is an archived file containing data
generated between Jan 1 and Jan 10. Then you can filter the data generated between Jan
1 and Jan 5 from the archived file and restore just this data.
To restore alerts and packet logs using the standalone Database Admin tool:
Navigate to <Network Security Platform install directory>\bin.
Execute the dbadmin.bat file. The standalone tool opens.
Archival > Alert Archival
Select
Specify the time period of the data to be archived either by using the
specifying the start date and time and the end date and time.
Archive.
Click When the process is complete, the archived file is saved to <Network
Security Platform install directory>\alertarchival. This file will also be listed in a table
when you restore files using this tool or Manager.
