Hi all
I am investigating Disaster Recovery procedures for CiscoWorks
I have tried using the restorebackup.pl script several times but I have never actually seen it run successfully
I was wondering if anyone has had much experience of using this command and whether there are some pitfalls which I need to be aware of
For example, I tried to restore a backup from a production machine to a test machine and this failed. There were some minor differences in the build, so I am hoping that this would explain the failure ...
Although, I used the -FORCE argument for the command the script ran for a while and then failed, stating that it had 'exited unexpectedley'
I am also going to try restoring a backup to a rebuilt machine (which will have the same build as was running when the last backup was made) but I am not confident that the restorebackup.pl script will run successfully
If this were to fail; has anyone ever tried copying over the entire CSCOpx directory to another machine ... Could this work ?
Otherwise, I am thinking that I may just have to consider doing a .csv import instead
If anyone has any thoughts on the above I'd be interested to hear them
Many thanks for any help
Kind regards
Marcus Jones
