Restoring a Database in the User Interface
You can restore any archived Junos Space database to restore your Junos Space system to a previous state. When you initiate a restore database operation, Junos Space is shutdown on all nodes in the fabric and the system goes into maintenance mode, during which time only one maintenance mode administrator can log in to the system at a time. Once the restore database operation is complete, Junos Space is restarted and users can access the Junos Space user interface.
To restore a database, you must have System Administrator privileges and be a Maintenance Mode administrator.
 | Note: Before you restore a database, wait until all jobs currently running have completed. |
To view information about the available database backup files before you select a database to restore, see Viewing Database Backup Files.
