Nagios XI Recovery

[anoop]

Dear Team,

We configured NagiosXI in CentOS 6.3, offloaded nagiosxi database in other centos 6.3.
We configured 100s of hosts and thousands of services and its working fine,'

now if i take the backup from Backup_xi.sh, and suppose after taking that backup my Hard disk get damaged, does this backup restore all the hosts services whatever we configured before, what are the challenges if we installed new system and restore this backup on new NagiosXi machine..

Because one of our client needs to be check Disaster recovery with this backup.

What steps to be taken for offloaded db,,,,?

Thanks in advanced

The backup script should export the database in such a way that it does not matter if it is remote or local. It should restore plugins, performance data, configurations, mysql and postgres databases. The only real concern or issues with restoring, is if the system is a newer version or different architecture, the plugins may need to be recompiled. Taking this backup file offsite or off the xi server should fit most disaster recovery situations.
