Question & Answer
Question
Under what circumstances can backup or restore of configurations be applied?
Cause
Backups and restores must be applied properly.
Answer
Configuration backups:
- When restoring a configuration backup, it must be restored to a machine with the same product version and patch level. To confirm what version a configuration backup is using, unpack the configuration backup and look in /opt/qradar/conf/patch_list using SSH to a Console.
Enter the commandcat /opt/qradar/conf/patch_listand you will find the current version being used in last entry from the list.
- Generally, backups cannot be restored between appliance types. You cannot apply a 2100 backup to a 3100 appliance.
- Data can be restored to any version, but it will need to match the configuration backup for the log or flow sources in order to be correctly identified.
