If a disaster occurs and you lose all of the Secure API Manager components or the entire system becomes corrupted, you can restore the entire system as long as you have a copy of the backup directory from the Database Service component. For more information, see Preparing the Database Service Component for a Disaster.
If you have clustered the Database Service component and have a backup for each Database Service appliance node, in the event that you need to restore your entire Secure API Manager system, restore all of the databases from the backups before deploying the other components.
WARNING:You must use the same networking configuration settings as you had in the failed system. If you change the networking configuration settings, the restoration fails.
To restore a system with the backup file from the Database Service:
Delete all of the appliances from VMware and the load balancers.
Deploy the appropriate number of appliances that were in your environment, making sure that you use the same network configuration settings. For more information, see Deploying the Secure API Manager Appliances.
On the appliance where you installed the new Database Service component, replace the appliance-name/var/opt/microfocus/sapim/mount/mf-sapim-postgres/persistent directory that is currently on the appliance with the backed-up directory from your original Database Service component.
Deploy the Database Service component using the Deployment Manager, ensuring that you use the same database user name and password for the database.
Deploy the remaining components. For more information, see Deploying the Secure API Manager Components.
