How to Restore the Previous Version of Backup Server

Valid on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6.x and CentOS 6.x for Backup Server

Symptom

I tried to upgrade the Backup Server but there was an error during the upgrade. The Backup Server is not working as expected. Now I want to restore the previous version of the Backup Server.

Solution

When you upgrade to a new release, the Backup Server creates a backup folder that contains all the old configuration files and database files from the previously installed version. The folder is located at the following location:

/opt/CA/d2dserver.bak

Follow these steps:

  1. Uninstall the existing Backup Server using the following command: 
    /opt/CA/d2dserver/bin/d2duninstall
  2. Install the previously installed version of the Backup Server.
  3. Stop the Backup Server using the following command: 
    /opt/CA/d2dserver/bin/d2dserver stop
  4. Copy the old configuration files and database files to the d2dserver folder using the following command: 
    cp -Rpf /opt/CA/d2dserver.bak/* /opt/CA/d2dserver/
  5. Start the Backup Server using the following command: 
    /opt/CA/d2dserver/bin/d2dserver start

The previously installed version of the Backup Server is successfully restored.
