Probe Backup and Restore

VSP-cli can be utilized to create a backup of configuration, data and log information of the Probe and restore it at a later stage or during upgrade scenarios. Execute VSP-cli command with admin (Windows) OR root (Linux) privileges. As the wrapper script is not supported in Windows 2008 and windows 2003, the VSP-cli commands can be utilized to backup and restore the data from a previous version.

1. To create a backup before Probe upgrade, execute the below command. The default location to store backup files is /tmp/vsp_backup/ for Linux and C:\ProgramData\vsp_backup for Windows
   ShellShell

   vsp-cli backup
   vsp-cli backup -b <backup_destination>  #To store backup in different location 

2. To restore information from an existing backup after Probe upgrade, execute the below command. The default location to store backup files is /tmp/vsp_backup/ for Linux and C:\ProgramData\vsp_backup for Windows
   ShellShell

   vsp-cli restore
   ivsp-cli restore -r <restore_source> #To restore backup from different location
