This section provides information on how to use the backup and restore functions in your Catalyst Center VA to create backup files.

You can restore the backup files to the same appliance if your Catalyst Center becomes unusable or use those files to migrate your Catalyst Center to a different appliance.

For example, you can:

• 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 on Azure and restore the data to another Catalyst Center VA on Azure.

Caution

NetFlow data is not backed up when you back up Catalyst Center automation and Assurance data.

For more information about backup and restore, see the Cisco Catalyst Center Administrator Guide.
