mds_restore

Description

Use this command to restore a Multi-Domain Server that was backed up with mds_backup.

If the Multi-Domain Security Management environment has multiple Multi-Domain Servers, restore all Multi-Domain Servers at the same time.

Important - You must restore on the server that runs the same software version, from which you collected this backup. Example: If you collected a backup on a server with version "XX" and Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator Take "YY", then you must restore on a server with version "XX" and Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator Take "YY".

To restore a Multi-Domain Server:

1. Connect to the command line on the Multi-Domain Server.
2. Log in to the Expert mode.
3. Go to the directory where the backup file is located.
4. Run:

   mds_restore <backup_file>

5. If you restore on a Multi-Domain Server with a new IP address, configure the new address.

Important notes about backing up and restoring in Management High Availability environment:

• To back up and restore a consistent environment, make sure to collect and restore the backups and snapshots from all servers in the High Availability environment at the same time.
• Make sure other administrators do not make changes in SmartConsole until the backup operation is completed.
