Restoring Configuration Database

Restore of the configuration database is helpful in the following situations:

  • The configuration database got corrupted and you want to recover data from the configuration backup.
  • You want to deploy the configuration database on a new Microsoft SQL Server or PostgreSQL and restore data from the configuration backup to it.
  • You want to roll back the configuration database to a specific point in time.
  • You want to restore data to a new configuration database on the same database instance, for example, for testing purposes.

You can restore a configuration backup on the same backup server where the backup was created or on another backup server.
