Restore a configuration file to a previous state

Every time you push an Application Configuration to a server, the configuration files are saved in a configuration push history list. At any time, you can restore an Application Configuration to a previous state in the history list.

To restore an Application Configuration to a previous state:

From the SA Client navigation pane, select the Devices tab.
Select All Managed Servers and locate the desired server.
Select a server and select the Actions > Open menu.
Select the Management Policies tab.
Select the Configured Applications node in the navigation pane. This displays all the application configurations installed on the server.
Select a configuration to view the Configuration History in the detail pane. This displays all the push jobs that have run on the server.
Right-click one of the historical instances, and select View to view a snapshot.

The View Configuration Backup window appears in a split pane for comparison:
- The left pane displays the content of the pushed file before the snapshot, which is essentially a backup of the existing file if there was one.
- The right pane displays the content of the file that was pushed in the selected snapshot.
Select the line in the history that you want to restore and click Restore.
This displays the Restore Configurations wizard.
Verify the server and history instance to restore and click Next.
Select the restore type:
- Previous to selected push (undo) restores the configuration file to the values immediately before the selected history instance. That is, it undoes the selected instance.
- Following selected push (redo) restores the configuration file to the values of the selected history instance. That is, it repushes the selected instance.
Click Next.
In the Preview step, click Preview to compare the change to the current instance on the server.
The View Configuration Backup window appears in a split pane for comparison:
- The left side displays what is currently on the server at a given location.
- The right side contains what will be restored to that location, based on the “Restore Type” that was selected in the job.
This preview gives you an option to review the results before committing the restoration:
- To cancel, close the window and click Cancel from the job window.
- To proceed, close the window and proceed to the next step.
Click Start Job. This restores the configurations on the server to the selected history instance.
After the job has started, you can view its status by selecting the Jobs and Sessions tab then Job Logs on the main SA Client screen.
