Single System Restore

You can restore a backup to the original backed-up appliance, or to a replacement appliance as long as the replacement appliance has the same hardware, IP address, and software release (including maintenance releases and hotfixes) as the backed-up appliance.

Note: You can only restore a backup to an appliance for which a backup configuration is already defined, and for which the backup configuration is identical to that on the backed-up appliance. For example, if the backup location was /home/john/lmi-backup and options such as Optimize and Bypass disk space checking were used on the backed-up appliance, the same location and options must be used while configuring backup on the replacement appliance.
