Using the KDT utility to recover Administration Server data

The Backup of Administration Server data task allows you to copy Administration Server data for backup. To recover Administration Server data, you must use the KDT utility.

To recover Administration Server data:

1. On the administrator host where the KDT utility is located, run the following command:

   ./kdt invoke ksc --action listBackup

   The list of backups located in the /var/spool/ksc/backup directory is displayed.

2. Run the following command:

   ./kdt invoke ksc --action restoreBackup --param ksc_file_backup='<file name>' --param ksc_backup_password="<password>"

   where:

   • ksc_file_backup is the path to the required backup archive and the archive name.
   • ksc_backup_password is the archive password if the backup was saved with a password. If no password was used set the ksc_backup_password variable to "".

The Administration Server data is recovered from the selected backup archive.
