3.6.2 Notes about full-backup and full-restoration

This subsection provides notes about performing full-backup and full-restoration using backup software. Be sure to read these notes before you perform full-backup or full-restoration.

• Perform full-backup and full-restoration while SNMP Agent is terminated.

  If you execute full-backup while SNMP Agent is running, the files that are generated during operations might not be backed up.

• Full-backup also backs up the information that has been acquired by SNMP Agent during operations.

  If the information that was obtainable by SNMP Agent during full-backup does not match the information that is obtainable by SNMP Agent after restoration, an inconsistency occurs, and SNMP Agent might not function correctly after the full-restoration.

  If you perform full-restoration on a machine that is different from the machine on which full-backup was performed, an inconsistency is more likely to occur.

• If SNMP Agent does not function correctly after the full-restoration, terminate it and then perform the following procedure:

  1. Back up SNMP Agent configuration files.

  2. Uninstall SNMP Agent.

  3. Perform a new installation of SNMP Agent.

  4. Restore the backup configuration files.
