Restore is the process of restoring data to an original or former state. Using Restore, you can revert to a previous snapshot of the SmartStruxure server data despite any configuration changes made since the last backup. In Building Operation, Restore is a manual process designed to avoid the accidental overwriting of current SmartStruxure server data.

Restored Data

Depending on what is contained in the backup file, you can restore different types of data.

  • Configuration only : Building Operation restores the configuration database and custom object type data. Any existing historical data is lost when you select this option.

  • All data : Building Operation restores the configuration, historical, and custom object types data.

For more information, see Restored Data .

SmartStruxure Server Device Replacement Using Restore

Backup and Restore assures that SmartStruxure server devices data can be restored to a replacement SmartStruxure server device in the event of hardware failure, or to the same SmartStruxure server device in the event of data loss. As a precaution, you back up your SmartStruxure server devices regularly so that you can use the most current backup to restore the SmartStruxure server devices data to a replacement SmartStruxure server device. You also configure the new SmartStruxure server device to match the name and the network settings of the replaced SmartStruxure server device so the system can identify this SmartStruxure server device when online.

Duplicate SmartStruxure Server Device Using Restore

You can use the Restore function to re-use the configuration data from a backup set in a new standalone SmartStruxure server device. Rather than manually configuring your preferred SmartStruxure server device configuration, you can save time and configure the standalone SmartStruxure server device from a backup set.

The backup set used can originate from a SmartStruxure server device that is or has been part of a multi-server configuration.
