Backup and restore on System Manager that is configured for Geographic Redundancy

Last Updated : Mar 01, 2014 |

When you create a backup of the System Manager data or restore the data on System Manager that is configured for Geographic Redundancy, you must understand the following facts:

  • The secondary System Manager that is in the standby mode does not display the Backup and Restore link on the web console.

  • You can view the backups that you created on a standalone System Manager only on the web console of that standalone System Manager and after you convert the standalone server to primary System Manager server.

  • You can view the backups that you created on a primary System Manager only on the web console of that primary System Manager.

  • You can view the backups that you created on a secondary System Manager only on the web console of that secondary System Manager.

  • You can restore the backup data from System Manager that is configured for Geographic Redundancy on a standalone System Manager. However, you cannot restore the backup data from a standalone System Manager on System Manager that is configured for Geographic Redundancy.

  • You cannot restore the backup data on the primary System Manager server when the Geographic Redundancy replication is enabled on System Manager.

  • After the restore is complete on System Manager that is configured for Geographic Redundancy, the system automatically restarts with the Geographic Redundancy replication status as disabled.

  • When you enable the Geographic Redundancy replication, the system replicates the backup job that is scheduled on the primary System Manager as the scheduled backup job on the secondary System Manager. The subsequent scheduled backup job runs on both the primary and secondary System Manager separately.
