Restore From an Auto Configuration Save File
The advanced utility called “Restore Library Configuration from Auto
Save” uses the configuration backup file that the library generates
automatically to restore the library configuration, the MLM and DLM
databases, and any BlueScale encryption keys that were stored in the
library when the backup file was created.
The library automatically generates a configuration backup file whenever
any of the following events occurs:
When you make a change to a partition, the library immediately
generates a configuration backup file and saves it to the memory card
in the LCM. If you configured the option to email the backup file, the
backup file is sent as an email attachment to the specified recipient (see
Enable Email for the Auto Configuration Save File on page 117).
Changes to any of the library configuration settings other than those for
partitions are automatically saved in the configuration backup file that
the library creates each week. The timing for this backup is based on the
first time the automatic backup file is generated.
If you cannot restore from the configuration backup file on the LCM
and you have manually generated backups of the library configuration
and the MLM database that are more current than the available
automatically generated configuration backup file that is saved
elsewhere, you may want to use those backups instead of the
automatically generated configuration backup file (see Restore the
Library Configuration Using a Saved Configuration on page 382 and
Restore the MLM and DLM Databases on page 384).
Before restoring your system using the automatically generated backup file, check
the time stamp included in the file name to ensure that you have the most current
file.
The library does not automatically save a backup when you make changes to any of
the library configuration settings other than those for partitions. Any changes
made since the last backup need to be entered manually.
