[Migration User]

Hi  All,

In my environment we have deployed SEPM 12.1.4 for 1000 client license , currently we don't have any backup solution in our environment however I have taken the disk based back of my server 2003 Ent after installing the SEPM one time only through the Ghost 11.5.

I am taking regular backup through the backup utility in SEPM. I need to know in case my server crashes and I have to build the new one what are the important files & Dir that I have to take backup so that I can restore to the latest database state of SEPM and what is process of restoring the database and oother files to the new server.

A disaster recovery requires you to sequentially complete the following procedures:

1. If you had a catastrophic hardware failure, restore the server hardware using the IP address and host name from Backup.txt (from Step 3 above).
2. Reinstall Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager using a disaster recovery file (gathered in Step 2 above). When the Management Server Configuration Wizard runs, choose "Custom configuration" and "Use a recovery file". ( For Small Business Edition, if the folder does not exist, create the folder and place the recovery file there before installation. Location: <Install drive> \<Install folder>\Server Private Key Backup, Example: C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\Server Private Key Backup)
3. Stop the following Services: Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager and Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager Webserver
4. Restore the database (Use the "Database Backup and Restore Wizard from the SEPM tools folder).
5.
