Server recovery
Save a server’s configurations in protection vault by exporting a server’s configurations to a profile and importing the profile on
same server to reinstate it to an earlier state.
Protection vault
Protection vault is a secure location where you can save server profiles. Export server profile from a server or a group of
servers and import them to same server or group of servers. You can save this server profile on a shared location in the network
by creating an external vault or on a vFlash Secure Digital (SD) card by creating an internal vault. You can associate a server or
a group of servers with only one protection vault. However, you can associate one protection vault with many servers or group
of servers. You can save a server profile on only one protection vault. However, you can save any number of server profiles on a
single protection vault.
