backup and restore
Use the racadm systemconfig command to backup or restore server firmware and configuration. You
must have the server profile export and import license to use this command. Backup is a licensed
(Enterprise) feature, but restore is a non-licensed feature.
If Lifecycle Controller is disabled, restore will not work. If Collect System Inventory on Reboot (CSIOR)
is disabled, the system inventory may not be current during a backup operation. An appropriate
warning message is reported.
The job ID is displayed when the backup or restore is successful. <systemconfig command type> is
either backup or restore.
$ racadm systemconfig <systemconfig command type>
The syntax for backup is:
$ racadm systemconfig backup –f <filename> <target> [-n passphrase] [-l
<location> -u <username> -p <password>] [--vFlash]
The syntax for restore is:
$ racadm systemconfig restore –f <filename> <target> [-n passphrase] [--
nopreserve] [-l <location> -u <username> -p <password>]
[--vFlash]
Use cases
To back up a system to a CIFS share and encrypt the data, use:
$ racadm systemconfig backup -f image.img -l //192.168.2.140/share
-u admin -p passwd –n encryptpasswd123 []
