protection groups and recovery plans from the previous version are present.

Revert to a Previous Release of Site Recovery Manager
To revert to a previous release of Site Recovery Manager, you must uninstall Site Recovery Manager from
the protected and recovery sites. You can then reinstall the previous release.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that your installation of vCenter Server supports the Site Recovery Manager release that you are
reverting to. For information about the vCenter Server releases that support other versions of
Site Recovery Manager, see the Compatibility Matrixes for Site Recovery Manager 6.1 at
https://www.vmware.com/support/srm/srm-compat-matrix-6-1.html. For information about reverting a
vCenter Server installation, see the vSphere documentation.
n
Verify that you made a backup of the Site Recovery Manager database before you upgraded
Site Recovery Manager from a previous release to this release. For information about how to back up
the embedded database, see “Back Up and Restore the Embedded vPostgres Database,” on page 19.
Procedure
1 Use the Windows Control Panel options to uninstall Site Recovery Manager at the protected and
recovery sites.
If you connected the Site Recovery Manager Server instances at the protected and recovery sites, you
must uninstall Site Recovery Manager at both sites. If you uninstall Site Recovery Manager from one
side of a site pairing but not the other, the database on the remaining site becomes inconsistent.
2 Restore the Site Recovery Manager database from the backup that you made when you upgraded
Site Recovery Manager from the previous release.
You must restore the database on both sites so they are synchronized. For instructions about how to
restore a database from a backup, see the documentation from your database vendor.
3 Install the previous release of Site Recovery Manager Server on the protected and recovery sites.
4 Reestablish the connection between the Site Recovery Manager Server instances on the protected and
recovery sites.
If you restored a backup of the Site Recovery Manager database from the previous version, any
configurations or protection plans that you created before you upgraded Site Recovery Manager are
retained.
