RESTORING A BACKED UP SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
CAUTION! A System Restore can only occur if a previous system configuration has been backed up as
described in
“Backing Up a System Configuration” on page 126.
CAUTION! A system restore requires that you log back into the system. Once you click the Restore button, the
system will be unavailable for approximately two minutes. Perform this procedure during a
maintenance window.
NOTE: A System Restore can only be performed by a user logged in as admin user or by a user with
Network Manager rights. A user assigned only Network User rights will not see the System Restore
node in the Function System Tree.
The System Restore page allows for a restoration of a backed up system configuration,
as follows:
• The Restore function assumes that the same or comparable replacement
hardware components are in place as when the Backup function occurred. If
hardware component changes have occurred, alarms that point to the
differences will arise.
• If a Remote has been added (that is, was not part of the original system
hardware setup), then the newly added Remote will not be restored since it was
not present during the system configuration backup.
Do the following to restore a system backup:
1 Make sure there is sufficient disk space for the backed up system configuration
that you want to restore.
2 In the System Menu bar, click System Configuration > Restore.
3 Click the Browse button next to the File box to browse to the location of the
backup file.
