Restoring Cisco Secure ACS with CSUtil.exe
You can use the -r option to restore all Cisco Secure ACS internal data. The
backup file from which you restore Cisco Secure ACS can be one generated by the
CSUtil.exe -b option or by the ACS Backup feature in the HTML interface.
Cisco Secure ACS backup files contain two types of data:
• User and group data
• System configuration
You can restore either user and group data or system configuration, or both. For
more information about the ACS Backup feature, see the “Cisco Secure ACS
Backup” section on page 8-40.
Note During the backup, all services are automatically stopped and restarted. No
users are authenticated while the restoration is occurring.
To restore Cisco Secure ACS with CSUtil.exe, follow these steps:
Step 1 On the Cisco Secure ACS server, open an MS DOS command prompt and change
directories to the directory containing CSUtil.exe. For more information about the
location of CSUtil.exe, see the “Location of CSUtil.exe and Related Files” section
on page E-2.
Step 2 Perform the applicable restoration command:
a. To restore all data (user and group data, and system configuration), type:
CSUtil.exe -r all filename
where filename is the name of the backup file. Press Enter.
b. To restore only user and group data, type:
CSUtil.exe -r users filename
where filename is the name of the backup file. Press Enter.
