Restoring the server data

Last Updated : Mar 23, 2022 |

About this task

Restoring the AE Services server data involves restoring a copy of the AE Services database and restarting AE Services. The AE Services database includes configuration data files, the user database, certificates, and the license file.

Backup taken in the non-secure mode can be restored in the non-secure mode. Backup taken in the secure mode can be restored in the secure mode.

If the size of a backup file is greater than 10 MB, use the Command Line Interface (CLI) to restore the server data.

Note:

Remove the Geo Redundant High Availability (GRHA) configuration before restoring the database backup. If you restore the backup when GRHA is enabled, GRHA might not work properly. If this happens, remove GRHA and then reconfigure.

Procedure

  1. On the main menu AE Services Management Console, click Maintenance > Server Data > Restore.
  2. On the Restore Database Configuration page, click Browse and locate the AE Services database backup file to use.

    For example: <hostname>_<AES version>_aesvcsdb05052013.tar.gz.enc if the file is encrypted, or <hostname>_<AES version>_aesvcsdb05052013.tar.gz if the file is not encrypted.

  3. Click Restore.
  4. On the Restore Database Configuration page, click Restart Services.
    Caution:

    If you make any changes on the AE Services Management Console in the interval between clicking Restore and Restart Services, the restore does not occur.
