Restoring a Domain Using a Backup

When patches are applied using WebLogic Management, a backup of the middleware folder to be patched is automatically created in every managed instance where the server being patched is running. Only domains that were patched with WebLogic Management can be restored from a backup.

1. On the Domains list page, select the name of the domain.
2. On the domain details page, in the Servers section select the servers you want to remove patches from and click Restore from backup.
  The Restore from backup panel opens showing the domain version and middleware path, the available backups for each server, and when the backups were created.
3. (Optional) Click See details for a server.
  The Backup details panel opens with more information about the backup, such as the backup location and the patches included in the backup. Click Close when you are finished reviewing the backup details.
4. Click Restore.
  If there are any issues with restoring from a backup, information displays detailing the issues and how to resolve them. For example:
  
  None of the servers have a backup
  
  The domain is not in an Active state
  
  The domain hasn't passed readiness checks
  
  The patching feature is disabled
5. (Optional) Check the backup progress in the Work requests section of the domain's details page.
