Data That Can Be Restored

When you restore a DMS, dmsmgr uses backup files from another DMS to create a new DMS. When you restore a DH, dmsmgr copies data from the DMS backup files to the DH Reader directory. In both cases you restore the same data.

The data that you restore is a duplicate of the data in the DMS database, and includes:

• Information about your enterprise policies, versions, and assignments
• Information about deployment and policy status, deployment deviation, and deployment hierarchy
• Host and host group definitions
• Configuration settings
• The updates.dat file
• Registry entries
• DMS audit file

Note: You do not need to restore the DH__Writer because it has a transient database.
