Restore operations are dependent on the SmartServer software and hardware versions for the backup and restore SmartServers. Consequently, you cannot restore a system image on all new SmartServers. For example, if you backup a SmartServer 3.26 on a dual core SmartServer, then you cannot restore it on a new quad core that uses a Dialog PMIC, which is only supported with SmartServer 3.3 and higher. Doing so could result in the new SmartServer becoming unusable and possibly recoverable. Therefore, you should backup only the settings and database (not the system) on the old SmartServe, and then on the new Dialog PMIC hardware, install SmartServer 3.3 or higher, and then restore the settings and database. |

You can restore a system backup onto a new SmartServer in the event of a SmartServer hardware failure. To do so, you must first create a system backup. A full restore overwrites the new SmartServer's serial number, host name, MAC addresses, install code, segment ID (SID), and apollo password. With this process, the new SmartServer will have an identical image to the backed-up image. The procedures in this section describe how to back up and replace a SmartServer IoT, as well as to verify operations.
