Configure Gateway restore on Gateway 1.8+

[EcoStruxureIT]

Restoring a Gateway configuration from backup is performed via the command line. You must have console access to the Gateway server, either locally or via a remote terminal, for example, SSH.

IMPORTANT: You can restore a backup from the same version of Gateway only. 

Restore from backup

Note: This example is on a Windows based system. The Linux commands are identical; the install directory is slightly different. Sudo can be used to run with administrator level privileges.  On Linux, if an incorrect password is supplied, the terminal will hang.  Press Ctrl-C to exit and retry the command with a different password.

1. Open a command prompt as administrator on the computer where the Gateway is installed.

2. Navigate to the bin subdirectory within Gateway install directory on the file system, for example, C:\Program Files\EcoStruxure IT Gateway\<version number>\bin

3. Type the command ./restore

4. You will be prompted to choose a backup (based on id) from those found in the local file system under the backups subdirectory in the Gateway install directory, for example, C:\Program Files\EcoStruxure IT Gateway\<version number>\backups

5. After entering the backup id, you will be prompted for the password set at backup creation time to decrypt the backup contents.
   Note: Backups created in Gateway version 1.7 use the serial number of the Gateway server for the password.

6. After successfully entering the password, you will be prompted to confirm your choice and proceed. This initiates the Gateway configuration restore procedure. The Gateway application will restart.
