Management R80.30 restore

Kevin_Stanton — Mon, 23 Mar 2020 11:32:24 GMT

I need to do a restore of my management server R80.30 running on a VM.

I have a backup from Gaia and a VM Veeam backup.

I am going to restore from the Veeam backup, is anyone aware of any gotchas that may not be in the documentation?

Many thanks

OK that worked, some broad brush strokes on how we did it

Took a snapshot in Gaia

Shut down the VM gracefully halt -p

Renamed the VM to MGT_Server_bak

Disconnected the virtual interface (just in case someone powers it back up)

Veeam instant restore (took us about 1 hour 30mins)

Migrated to production

Checked VM network adapter

In the correct network/Vlan

Check “Connect at power on” selected

Powered up

Checked clock NTP updated (sk92602)

Nervously watched Top on the CLI till the Java processes settled

Am I seeing logs? (I have to say I have a separate events/log server)

Pushed policy to a less important Gateway (if I can find one).

Add the rules back in that where added in the 2 hours that it took me to get permission to call a change freeze.
