The backup and restore functions run on System Manager.
System Manager creates one backup file that contains all the data for the entire system. You do not need to create individual backup files of all the Session Manager instances. The data and configuration files for the entire system are stored centrally on System Manager.
System Manager supports local backup and remote backup. You can transfer backup files by using the sftp or scp protocol.
You can perform either a backup or a restore operation at a specified time. The restore operation fails if a backup operation is in progress. When a restore operation is in progress, the system ignores all backup jobs that are scheduled at that time. System Manager displays a warning if you attempt to restore a corrupted or tampered backup file.
Note:
You can only restore a data file on the same software version on which the backup was taken. However, when you upgrade to a newer release of System Manager, the system preserves the data. If an upgrade failure occurs, System Manager rolls back to the previous configuration.
