Restore a Backup

Once you have a backup you can restore it using the fmos restore command. You point the command at the file to restore.

To restore the backup to the server, complete the following steps.

1. Access the server CLI.
2. At the command prompt, type fmos restore<path & filename>. Replacing <path & filename> with the location of your backup.
3. Follow the prompts to finish the restore process.

You must use the full path to the backup file when you do a restore.

Post-Backup Scripts

Post-backup scripts are stored in /etc/firemon/postbackup.d/

Files in this directory will be executed, in lexical order, when a backup operation completes successfully. These files can be scripts that, for example, copy backup files to a remote server, send a notification to the administrator, etc. In order to be run, files must be executable by the fmbackup user.

The name of the backup file which was just created is available as the BACKUP environment variable.
