Restoring Backups and Updating NagiosXI

Post by nagiostest »

Hi, will updating NagiosXI from 3.2 to 3.3 cause my configured hosts,services and dashboards to be delted?
Also is there a way to restore everything back to the current state of configuration?
I Tried downloading the tar snapshot of the last known good config and subsequently followed the steps here
http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... ing_XI.pdf
but its telling me that its unable to find any files to restore.
So end of the day my question is is there a way to keep my hosts; services; and dashboard settings?

Thanks ;)

A last known goof configuration snapshot and a backup are 2 different things.

the item you want to move to the new system to restore is the backup made by running

Code: Select all
