If you do a backup of the SQL database and restore it on a clean SQL Server, then the raise errors from
the SQL database will not work and you will only receive one generic error message from the SQL
Server. To avoid that, first reinstall your XProtect system using the clean SQL Server and then restore
the backup on top of that
l
If restoring fails during the validation phase, you can start the old configuration again because you
have made no changes
If restoring fails elsewhere in the process, you cannot roll back to the old configuration
As long as the backup file is not corrupted, you can do another restore
l
Restoring replaces the current configuration. This means that any changes to the configuration since
last backup are lost
l
No logs, including audit logs, are restored
l
Once restoring has started, you cannot cancel it
Restoring
1. Right-click the notification area's Management Server service icon and select Restore Configuration.
2. Read the important note and click Restore.
3. In the file open dialog box, browse to the location of the system configuration backup file, select it, and
click Open.
The backup file is located on the Management Client computer. If the
Management Client is installed on a different server, copy the backup file to this
server before you select the destination.
4. The Restore Configuration window opens. Wait for the restore to finish and click Close.
System configuration password (explained)
You can choose to protect the overall system configuration by assigning a system configuration password.
After you assign a system configuration password, backups are protected by this password. The password
settings are stored on the computer that is running the management server in a secure folder. You will need
this password to:
l
Restore the configuration from a configuration backup that was created with password settings
different than the current password settings
l
Moving or installing the management server on another computer due to a hardware failure (recovery)
l
Configure an additional management server in a system with clustering
