Restoring from the local destination

Last Updated : Dec 20, 2025 |

About this task

Perform the following procedure to reconstruct data on Avaya Aura® MS by restoring data using a backup saved in the default backup destination:

The local backups that you can choose from are stored in:

$MASHOME/platdata/EAM/Backups
Important:

If you are restoring the backup files to a system, then the system’s major, minor, and subminor version must match the major, minor, and subminor version of the system the backup came from. If it doesn’t match you must use the migration tool amsupgrade to migrate the data forward.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to EM > Tools > Backup and Restore > Restore.
  2. On the Restore page, in the Restore Source drop-down list, select Default Backup Destination.
  3. In the Restore Task List, select the backups from the list which you want to use for the restore.
    Important:

    To ensure that the application data is restored to the configured location, restore the system configuration data before restoring the application data.

  4. Click Restore Now.
  5. On the Confirm Restore page, click Confirm to proceed with the restore.
    Important:

    Restoring a backup archive might impact running applications. After you click Confirm, the system invokes the restore task. EM and Avaya Aura® MS close the connections to all users until the system completes the restoration.

    Note:

    The time required to restore the application content depends on the amount of application data in the backup file.

  6. Reboot the server.
