Digipass Plug-In for SBR Administrator Reference Backup and Recovery
6.2.2.4 Copy Database from Other SBR Plug-In
This procedure will be required where multiple SBR Plug-Ins are using databases which have
been configured to synchronize with each other, where one database has become
unsynchronized or unstable. This database must be replaced with a 'safe' database – one
containing up-to-date, uncorrupted data. The instructions below assume a simple two-SBR
Plug-In pair where one SBR Plug-In (SVR-2) is using a database that has become unstable,
and the other (SVR-1) is using a 'safe' database.
To replace the database:
1. Identify the SBR Plug-In with the 'safe' database. For these steps, the machine will be
referred to as SVR-1.
2. Stop the Steel-Belted RADIUS service on SVR-1 and SVR-2.
3. Take a complete copy of the database used by the SBR Plug-In on SVR-1. If you are
using the embedded PostgreSQL database:
a. Open a command prompt in \PostgreSQL\Bin.
b. Enter the following command and hit ENTER:
pg_restore -d postgres -c -U [-v] ""
where:
is the absolute path and file name of the file to restore from
is the database administrator account name. The database
administrator account created during installation is "digipass".
-v is an optional 'verbose mode' parameter. Use this if you wish to see output as
the database is restored.
c. Enter the following command and hit ENTER:
vacuumdb -z -d postgres -U [-v]
where:
is the database administrator account name. The database
administrator account created during installation is "digipass".
