The manual restore process is known as the restore by file option. After you retrieve the snapshot file from the snapshot server, save the file on the local workstation. You can upload the file to the EMS server where the file is decompressed and used to reconfigure the EMS to a previous state.
Before you begin
Retrieve the snapshot file.
Procedure
Log in to the EMS web interface with administrator credentials.
On the Device menu, preform one of the following:
Click EMS for restoring a snapshot for the EMS server.
Click SBC for device specific snapshot restoration.
In the navigation pane, click Backup/Restore.
On the Backup/Restore page, click the Snapshots tab.
Click Restore by File.
In the Restore Snapshot by File warning window, click Select File.
In the pop-up window, select a snapshot file, and click Open.
The EMS server enters the selected snapshot file in the Restore Point File field of the Restore by File window.
Click Upload.
The EMS server displays a warning window for confirmation to proceed with the restoration procedure.
Click OK.
The EMS server goes offline and transfers the snapshot file to the EMS server. The file is then decompressed and used to reconfigure the EMS software to a previous configuration.
After the system successfully restores a snapshot, in an HA configuration both Avaya SBC devices reboot. In a standalone configuration, the EMS and SBC single server reboots. The system takes several minutes to reboot after restoring a backup configuration.
