Restoring Data
The new restore framework supports restore across versions. This enables you to
restore data from versions 2.1, and 2.2, in addition to Common Services 3.0.
The restore framework checks the version of the archive. If the archive is of
current version, then the restore from current version is executed. If the backup
archive is from older version, then the backup data is converted to Common
Services 3.0 format, if needed, and applied to the machine.
You can restore your database by running a script from the command line.
While restoring data, CiscoWorks is shut down and restarted.
In all backup restore scenarios, a back up is taken from a machine A, and the
backed up data, say Ab, is restored on the same machine A, or on a different
machine B.
Ensure that you do not run any critical tasks during data restoration. Otherwise,
you may lose the data for such tasks.
If you restore the database when CiscoWorks Server is SSL enabled, the backed
Note
up Server Certificate and Private Key will also be restored. Your existing
Certificate and Private Key will be overwritten.
For details on effect of restore operation on DCR modes, and Groups, see Effects
of Backup-Restore on DCR and Effects of Backup-Restore on Groups.
Restoring the database from a backup permanently replaces your database with
