Note that, for security reasons the VCX firewall is not stopped.
Furthermore, the Common Agent stops only briefly while its own restore
is done. For EMS-based operations, this minimizes the time during which
remote manageability is unavailable.
Backup and Restore
Operation Logs
Each execution of the
vcx-config-backup
and
vcx-config-restore
command is tracked using syslog. Information about each backup and
restore operation is written to
/var/log/messages .
Logged messages for each operation include information such as the type
of operation (backup or restore), the name of the backup file, the success
or failure of the operation, and, if the operation failed, a reason for the
failure.
You can use the following command to display the last ten lines in the
messages file:
tail -f /var/log/messages
The
-f
argument leaves the file open and displays messages as they are
recorded. Press Ctrl + C to cancel the operation.
