Restoring the System Dependency Server

This task explains what happens when you run the restore script. The restore.sh script is in the /usr/local/uce/install directory.

Once you select a file to restore, all current Sun Update Connection – Enterprise data is overwritten. Before restoring an older version, you should perform the backup procedure for the current data.

To Restore the System Dependency Server

1. Log in to the system as superuser.

2. Change to the installation directory.

   # cd /usr/local/uce/install

3. Run the restore script with a pointer to the desired backup archive.

   # ./restore.sh /<fullpath>/<backedUpServer>.tar.gz

   The following steps are done automatically, but require your confirmation before continuing:

   • Sun Update Connection – Enterprise applications are stopped.

   • The selected file is unpacked and the data is restored.

   • Sun Update Connection – Enterprise applications are restarted and restore exits.
