Portal backup and restore

Lenovo XClarity One does not include built-in backup and restore functions. When using XClarity One as a local virtual machine, use the backup functions that are available based on the virtual-host operating system on which XClarity One is installed.

Always back up XClarity One after performing the initial setup and after making significant configuration changes, including:

  • Before updating XClarity One

  • After making any network changes

  • After adding users to XClarity One local authentication server

  • After managing new management hubs

If you have backup and restore procedures in place for virtual hosts, ensure that your procedures include XClarity One.

Important

  • Ensure that XClarity One is in a healthy state and no jobs are running before you create a backup.

  • Ensure that you back up XClarity One on a regular basis. If the host operating system shuts down unexpectedly, you might not be able to authenticate with XClarity One after the host operating system is restarted. To resolve this problem, restore XClarity One from the last backup.
