Restoring a CPDB

Before restoring a CPDB, ensure that no changes to farm states have been made other than in the database. Otherwise, the database is no longer in sync with the rest of the system.

If you have created several backups, ensure that you restore from the most current backup file, otherwise the servers will be out of synchronization with the database. Consequently you will lose your most recent changes.

Run the restoredb command from the CPDB to back up the CPDB. For details on how to use this command, see the restoredb man page.

Restoring the CPDB does not restore the Control Center. See Restoring a Control Center for details on restoring both, the CPDB and the Control Center, at the same time.
