Restoring the VCX
Authentication and
Directory Server
Database
VCX systems, whether single-site or multi-site, typically include redundant
pairs of servers. The steps in this section describe how to restore an
archived database backup file on a pair (primary and secondary) of VCX
Authentication and Directory servers. The procedure also assumes
database replication is enabled between the two servers. Depending on
the reason for the restoration, you may need to execute the steps on only
one server.
