Restoring configuration data from the primary to the secondary QRadar Console

After you set up the secondary QRadar Console as the destination for the logs, you either add or import a backup archive from the primary QRadar Console. You can restore a backup archive that is created on another QRadar host. Log in to the secondary QRadar Console and do a full restore of the primary console backup archive to the secondary QRadar Console.

Before you begin

You must have a data backup from your primary console to complete this task.

Procedure

  1. On the navigation menu ( Navigation menu icon ), click Admin.
  2. On the navigation menu, click System Configuration.
  3. Click the Backup and Recovery icon.
  4. In the Upload Archive field, click Browse.
  5. Locate and select the archive file that you want to upload.
    Tip: If the QRadar backup archive file is in the /store/backupHost/inbound directory on the console server, the backup archive file is automatically imported.

    The archive file must have a .tgz extension.

  6. Click Open.
  7. Click Upload.
  8. Select the archive that you uploaded and click Restore.

    When the restore is finished, the secondary QRadar Console becomes the primary console.
