Use the backup and restore functionality of System Manager to back up and restore the data and configuration files. The data and configuration files for the entire system are kept centrally on System Manager.
Note:
System Manager does not support deployments or upgrades on System Platform. Therefore, for System Manager upgrades by using data migration utility, create a backup of System Manager configuration files and the System Manager database only from the System Manager web console.
During the backup operation, System Manager validates the backup file that you upload, and displays an error if the file type does not match.
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 skips all backup jobs that you scheduled.
System Manager verifies the signature of the backup files and warns if you restore a corrupted or tampered backup file on System Manager.
You can only restore the data on System Manager that has the same software version and IP address (both OOBM and public), FQDN, and Hardening level as that of System Manager on which you created the backup.
Note:
While restoring backup on System Manager with different Out of Band Management network details, the restore operation fails at validation phase.
