Cisco Secure ACS System Restore
hard drive. You can restore from any backup file you select. For example, you can
restore from the latest backup file, or if you suspect that the latest backup was
incorrect, you can select an earlier backup file to restore from.
The backup directory is selected when you schedule backups or perform a manual
backup. The default directory for backup files is the following:
drive
:\path\CSAuth\System Backups
where drive is the local drive where you installed Cisco Secure ACS and path is
the path from the root of drive to the Cisco Secure ACS directory. For example, if
you installed Cisco Secure ACS version 3.0 in the default location, the default
backup location would be:
c:\Program Files\CiscoSecure ACS v3.0\CSAuth\System Backups
Cisco Secure ACS creates backup files using the date and time format:
dd
-mmm-yyyy hh-nn-ss.dmp
where:
• dd is the date the backup started
• mmm is the month, abbreviated in alphabetic characters
• yyyy is the year
• hh is the hour, in 24-hour format
• nn is the minute
• ss is the second at which the backup started
For example, if Cisco Secure ACS started a backup on October 13, 1999, 11:41:35
a.m., Cisco Secure ACS would generate a backup file named:
13-Oct-1999 11-41-35.dmp
If you are not sure of the location of the latest backup file, check your scheduled
backup configuration on the ACS Backup page.
