I got this from my notes, it's a script to restore of FDM with existing backup as well. The script is attached here in this document and not not written by me but someone from Cisco that i don't recall (sorry).
1) Preparation:
****************************************************************************************************
Step 1: Download the script on PC
Step 2: Make sure python3 is installed on PC and have reachability to FDM on 443
Step 3: Make sure proper permission is given to script to execute (This applies specifically if you're executing script from linux machine)
