About appliance restore
Appliance Restore implies that you want to restore the appliance to a specific state. That state can be an original factory state or a state that is determined through the use of checkpoints. You can create a checkpoint, rollback the appliance to a checkpoint that you choose, or initiate a factory reset.
Note:
Factory reset is only supported on a NetBackup Virtual Appliance with the media server role.
The following list describes the four different types of checkpoints:
A factory reset checkpoint. This checkpoint is created after a newly deployed appliance is first boot up. This checkpoint creation process takes about 15 minutes.
A pre-upgrade checkpoint is created before you install a software upgrade. You can use this type of checkpoint as a rollback checkpoint in case a software upgrade fails.
A post-upgrade checkpoint is created after an appliance has been upgraded to a new software version.
A user-directed checkpoint is a checkpoint that you create at any point in time using the application user interface. If an existing user-directed checkpoint already exists it is replaced by any new checkpoint that you create.
See Creating an appliance checkpoint from the appliance shell menu.
See Rollback to an appliance checkpoint from the appliance shell menu.
