This section describes how to restore a backup of the primary GSSM database. It
contains the following topics:
Restore Overview
•
Restoring Your Primary GSSM from a Previous Backup
•
You may need to restore a previous primary GSSM backup for the following
reasons:
You have replaced your primary GSSM with a new device and want to restore
•
a previous backup to that primary GSSM.
You are downgrading the GSS software to an earlier release.
•
You have made a number of configuration changes to the primary GSSM and
•
would like to return to the previous backup of the GSSM.
When you execute a database restore on your primary GSSM, the archive file is
automatically unpacked and the database is copied to the GSSM, overwriting the
current GSSM database. See the
details about performing a database backup of the GSSM.
The GSS database may change between software versions. When you downgrade
to an earlier version of the GSSM database, any configuration changes, device
configuration information, and DNS rules entered through the primary GSSM
(subsequent to your last software upgrade) will be lost.
