Server Data restore 4 Reviewing backup events The Master Log, which displays in the lower left area of the main window, lists the events that occur on the Fabric. If you do not see the Master Log, select View > Show Panels > All Panels. The following backup events appear in the Master Log: • Backup started • Backup error • Backup Enabled • Backup Disabled • Backup Now • Backup destination change • Backup interval change • Backup start time change • Domain workgroup change • User name change • User password change • Number of files backed up on completion • Network share access problem when backup starts or during backup (not when the backup configuration is changed) Server Data restore NOTE You cannot restore data from a previous version of the Management application. NOTE You cannot restore data from a higher or lower configuration (Trial or Licensed version) of the Management application. NOTE You cannot restore data from a different package of the Management application. The Management application helps you to protect your data by backing it up automatically. The data can then be restored, as necessary. The data in the following directories is automatically backed up to disk. The data includes the following items: • Backup\databases - contains database and log files. • Backup\data - contains M-EOS switches Element Manager data files (including Dump files, Data collection progress files, Director/Switch firmware files FAF files, Switch technical supportSave, and Switch backup files) and Fabric OS miscellaneous files. .
