Server Data restore

• Backup\conf – contains the Management application configuration files.

• Backup\cimom – contains the SMIA configuration files.

In a disaster recovery situation, it is possible that configuration changes made less than 45

minutes before Server loss (depending on the backup interval you set) could be missing from the

backup.

Restoring data

1. (Windows) Open the Server Management Console from the Start menu on the Management

application server.

(UNIX) Open Install_Home/bin from the Management application server and type

./smc.sh at

the command line.

2. Click the Services tab.

The tab lists the Management application services.

3. Click Stop Services to stop all of the services.

4. Click the Restore tab.

5. Browse to the backup location.

Browse to the location specified in the Output Directory field on the Options dialog box -
