Note

  • You cannot restore a backup from a HA GM to a single node GM, if the HA GM has specific HA passive configuration. 

  • If you perform a backup with the discovery service enabled and restore the same backup file to the NIOS Grid after disabling the discovery service and vice versa, the following is displayed in Grid Manager: “This backup was taken from a different grid master. Use the ”Force Restore from Different Grid” option to restore this data”. Infoblox recommends using the Force Restore from Different Grid option during Grid restore.
