The restore script replaces the existing configurations in the configuration database with the configuration in the backup of the configuration store. It should be used to restore configuration data in one of the following scenarios:
An upgrade failed and you need to return to the configuration before the upgrade.
You want to return to the backed up configuration because the current modified configuration does not meet your needs.
If the primary Administration Console machine has failed, you have lost both the configuration and the configuration database. To recover from this scenario, you need to do more than restore the configuration.
The restore script cannot be used to move the Administration Console to a different platform, even if the new machine is configured to use the same IP address and DNS name. The backup files contains path information that is specific to the operating system.
NOTE:Restore should be made on the same version that was used to take the backup.
Ensure that the zip file created during the backup process is accessible.
