About Backup and Restore
Use the backup and restore functions in Catalyst Center VA to create backup files. You can restore the backup files to the same appliance (in case your Catalyst Center becomes unusable) or use them to migrate your Catalyst Center to a different appliance, for example:
-
Back up data from a Catalyst Center hardware appliance and restore the data to a Catalyst Center VA.
-
Back up data from one Catalyst Center VA and restore the data to another Catalyst Center VA
Before you can create a backup on an NFS server, you need to configure the backup server so that the Catalyst Center Maglev user can access it. For Catalyst Center on AWS, see Configure an NFS Server in this guide. For all other information about backup and restore, see the Cisco DNA Center Administrator Guide, Release 2.3.5.
