Active System Manager Release 8.2 User’s Guide

Restore now

Restoring ASM virtual appliance returns user-created data to an earlier configuration that is saved in a backup file.

CAUTION: Restoring an earlier configuration restarts ASM virtual appliance and deletes data created after the backup file to which you are restoring.

NOTE: It is recommended to perform frequent backups to prevent data loss and corruption. Also, it is recommended to take a snapshot of ASM virtual appliance every time you perform a restore (for more information, see VMware documentation).

On the home page, click Settings, and then click Backup and Restore.
On the Backup and Restore page, click Restore Now.
Type a path name in the Backup Directory Path and File Name box that specifies the backup file to be restored. Use one of the following formats:
- NFS — host:/share/filename.gz
- CIFS — \\host\share\filename.gz
To log in to the location where the backup file is stored, type the username and password in the Backup Directory User Name and Backup Directory Password boxes.
To access the backup file, type the encryption password in the Encryption Password box. This is the password that was typed when the backup file was created.
Click Restore Now.
Confirm or cancel the action when a confirmation message is displayed.

The restore process is started.
