Data restore
NOTE
You cannot restore data from a previous version of the Management application.
NOTE
You cannot restore data from a different edition of the Management application.
The Management application helps you to protect your data by backing it up automatically. The
data can then be restored, as necessary.
The data in the following directories is automatically backed up to disk. The data includes the
following items:
• Backup\databases — contains database and log files.
• Backup\data — contains M-EOS switches Element Manager data files (including Dump files,
Data collection progress files, Director/Switch firmware files FAF files, Switch technical
supportSave, and Switch backup files) and Fabric OS miscellaneous files.
• Backup\conf – contains the Management application 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.
