When you restore a backup, you are restoring the state of the NSX Intelligence configuration files at the time the backup was made. You restore a backup using the NSX Manager user interface.
You must restore a backup on an installation of the NSX Intelligence appliance that is the same version as the backup you are restoring.
Prerequisites
- Ensure that the NSX Intelligence appliance on which you plan to restore the backup is the same version as the appliance from which the backup was created.
- Ensure the NSX Intelligence appliance is associated to the same NSX Manager cluster used when the backup was generated.
- Verify that you have the host info and admin login credentials for the backup file server.
- Ensure that you have the passphrase assigned to the backup file.
- Identify which backup you want to restore.
