2.8 Recovering Lost MIB Files from the Backup Folder

When AppManager SNMP Toolkit is installed, the setup program creates two copies of the MIB file. These files are installed in the following default folders:

  • installation folder \AppManager\bin\AMSnmpMIBs

  • installation folder \AppManager\bin\AMSnmpMIBBackups

The SNMP Toolkit actively uses the MIB files in the \AppManager\bin\AMSnmpMIBs folder, but not the files in the \AppManager\bin\AMSnmpMIBBackups folder.

If you accidentally delete one of the original MIB files (for example, by running the RemoveMIBs Knowledge Script), you can recover it from the backup folder. Simply use the Full MIB file path parameter in the AddMIBs Knowledge Script to supply the path to the AMSnmpMIBBackups folder.
