Upgrading Infrastructure Automation backup and restore artifacts

Use this procedure if you want to run backup or restore on an upgraded Infrastructure Automation deployment.

If you run a backup or restore on an Infrastructure Automation deployment, the backup and restore scripts must always be the same version as your deployment. For example, if you run backup on an Infrastructure Automation v4.8.1 deployment, you must use a v4.8.1 backup script.

If you previously set up backup or restore on a deployment that you have now upgraded, then you must cleanup any existing backup or restore artifacts. If you then want to run a new backup or restore, you must get the new version of the backup or restore scripts.

Note: If you have never set up backup or restore and you want to run backup or restore, then use the instructions in Infrastructure Automation backup and restore.
