Before You Restore Data
Before you can restore from a backup archive, the archive you want to use has to be
available on a disk accessible from the server instance directory. If you want to use
the automatic restore feature, you should put the archive in the output directory
where
originally created it (
cmsbackup
UNIX).
Note the full path name to the backup archive; in the instructions later it will be
referred to as
<archive_path>
might be
<archive_path>
/var/tmp/CMS_cmsdemo_BACKUP-19991115093827.zip
CMS backup data files can be optionally signed (and verified) from the
command-line utilizing a separate tool called
<server_root>/bin/cert/tools/cmsutil
to use this utility to verify. For an example of signing backup data utilizing this
tool, see "Signing Backup Data Using cmsutil," on page 67. For an example of
verifying signed backup data utilizing this tool, see "Verifying Signed Backup Data
using cmsutil," on page 69.
You can use the word

logs/latest_backup
and contains the name of the last archive created. Note that
cmsbackup
always causes all data to be restored: you will not be able to select only a subset of
the data.
If you moved the zip archive to another machine or removable medium, copy it
back to the local file system. If you encrypted the archive, decrypt it before you try
to restore the data.
You cannot restore data to a CMS instance that has not been configured. If you
re-installed CMS prior to attempting to restore data, you must configure the new
CMS instance. When you configure the new installation, keep the following points
in mind:
•
All services should be running on the same network ports as they were when
the backup archive was created. For example, the administration console port
is a random number by default; be sure to change the default to the same port
that your original installation used.
