Does system backup of management server contains all the policies and objects ?

[Ravindra_Yadav]

Dear Team,

My management server has got crashed. We used to take weekly system backup of the management server.

Will restoring system backup has all the policies and objects ?

What are recommendations for restoring system backup on management server.

Regards,

Ravindra

A Gaia Backup on a Management Machine should contain the Policies and Objects in it.  It will also contain the license details as well and the credentials for the SmartConsole and Gaia.

You should build a new Management Server, with the same release and Jumbo installed as the one that the backup was taken from.

Then can simply use the Restore Remote Backup to upload and restore the backup file.

Usual Gaia Backup/Restore considerations apply as in same version, same patches required.
