        Backup is a built-in method of backing up OpenManage Enterprise's entire appliance configuration and data, including managed devices information, custom groups and jobs such as discovery task details, alert policies, plugin data and logs.

        In the unfortunate event of a deletion, corruption of system failure, the restore capabilities of OpenManage Enterprise are easy. If required, data can be restored to the existing or a new instance of OpenManage Enterprise running the same version, using the same or larger size virtual appliance.

        10
        Click **"Restore"**.
        11
        Enter share details & password (passphrase) from backup. As there is no file share in the lab environment we can not use the **Test** so therefore cannot run restore .
