Restore a Provisioning Server and Directory

You can restore a lost Provisioning Server by installing an alternate server. If all systems have failed, restore the data lost during the disaster.

Use the following steps:

1. Copy any custom schema files to CA Directory config\schema directory.
2. Install the new Provisioning Directory.

   The datastores will be empty.

3. Restore the data from the backup location.
4. Use the Provisioning Server installer, providing the details for the newly restored Provisioning Directory.

   The domain information should be there already.

5. Restore any custom connector and configuration files from backup.

Note: For more detail, see the CA Directory documentation.
