Backup - Restore of specific objects like Monitors?

Hello Folks,

 

Is it possible to restore the backup from a different hardware running on 10.2.4 to restore on a different hardware running over 11.3.0 HF3?

 

In case if complete backup cannot be restored, can I restore specific objects from the old appliance, like Monitors only? Or like iRules only? Is there a way or linux scripts etc which can help me achieving this requirement?

 

Thanks, Darshan

 

  • Hi Darshan!

     

    You're supposed to be able to restore backups from v10 to v11 but it's always failed, at least for me. Also, you can't restore individual objects from a backup in any other way than to open up the UCS file and copy the config manually.

     

    If I absolutely wanted to copy the config (meaning that there'd be alot of config) I would setup a virtual v10 with a evaluation license, restore the backup, upgrade it to v11 and copy the converted configuration to the production unit. Or try to apply the config to a v11 directly (which I have had no luck with so far).

    Yes, the configuration is a lot actually. And I am migrating it to the new box manually. So just thought to confirm if there is a way or workaround to reduce the time and efforts.

     

    Cheers!
