With Release 8.1.2, you can create and restore encrypted backup after enabling backup encryption.
Note:
You cannot restore the backup data on the primary System Manager server when the Geographic Redundancy replication is enabled on System Manager.
Procedure
On the System Manager web console, click Services > Backup and Restore.
On the Backup and Restore page, click Restore.
On the Restore page, click Local.
In the File name field, type the file name that you must restore.
If the file name does not appear in the list, specify the absolute path to the backup file and the file name that you must restore.
Note:
System Manager verifies the signature of the backup files and warns if you restore a corrupted or tampered backup file on System Manager.
Optional To restore encrypted backup using encryption password, do the following:
Clear the Use Global Backup Encryption Password check box.
System Manager displays the Backup Encryption Password field.
In Backup Encryption Password, type the encryption password.
Click Restore.
On the Restore Confirmation page, the system displays the following message:
The Restore operation will terminate all sessions and no services will be available until the operation completes. So, the System Manager console will not be available for approximately 45 minutes but this time may vary based on Database size. Click on Continue to go ahead with the Restore operation or click on Cancel to abort the operation.
Click Continue.
The system logs you out of the System Manager web console and then shuts down.
Result
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.
