HPE XP7 User Manual page 155

IMPORTANT:
You must import the data to the same version of the management station as that of the installed PA.
CAUTION:
HPE Strongly insists not to manually copy or use the drag and drop feature to move the PADB
folder to the target management station, or another location on the source management station.
This action will result in irrevocable loss of data. Use only the Backup utility provided by PA to
migrate data.
IMPORTANT:
• To use the Backup utility, ensure that the same version of PA version is installed on both the
backed up PA and also on the restoring PA. If the PA versions mismatch, "Version incompatible"
error message is displayed.
• Do not modify the default settings that is configured for the PA database at the time of installation
or upgrade.
• If you have already configured the serverparameters.properties file on the target
management station, it will be replaced with the serverparameters.properties file that
you backed up from the source management station. After you restore the database, the PA
Tomcat service is automatically restarted to reflect the latest settings.
