Devnet SD-WAN backup and restore

shaunlouw1727 — Tue, 04 Jun 2019 09:45:25 GMT

Is there any way to backup a lab setup and then restore that setup in a new lab booking at later time?

From Viptela SD-WAN perspective it is not clear to be how the system might be backup up/restored.

I have found a CLI command to backup the NMS database:

https://sdwan-docs.cisco.com/Product_Documentation/Command_Reference/Operational_Commands/request_nms_configuration-db

Also there is a URL describing a database restore from a VMWare level:

VMWare Level Restore article

Cannot find any place on vManage GUI to backup/restore.

SO is this possible?

Any comments greatly appreciated...

Hi! vManage NMS database require CLI access with admin privileges to perform a backup, this option is not available via UI and not exposed there. VMware level backup is not applicable here is well obviously.
