Backing up data after an uninstall 

If you uninstall the Brocade HCM software, you are prompted to back up the application 
configuration data that was created during installation. Be sure to back up configuration data when 
the backup message displays during uninstallation. You can perform a backup on an as-needed 
basis.

Following are default locations for HCM configuration data. 

•

Versions 1.1.0.8 and above - <user home>\HCM\data 

•

Versions 1.1.0.6 and below - <installation location>\FC HBA\data 

To restore the backed-up configuration data when you re-install the HCM, you must manually 
overwrite the new data directory contents with the backed-up data. This restores your previous 
settings. 

Data restoration

You can use the Restore Data dialog box to restore data that has been previously backed up. The 
Host Connectivity Manager (HCM) stores the location and version details of the most recently-taken 
backed up data and automatically points to the location of the data. 

NOTE

Use HCM 2.1 or later to restore backed up data. HCM 2.0 and earlier versions do not support the 
Restore Data feature. 

The following data is restored: 

•

HBA application configuration data (HBAApplication.properties) 

•

HCM user authentication data (noitacitnehtua.properties) 

•

Alias Configuration data (HbaAliasdb.properties) 

•

Setup Discovery data (SetupDiscovery.properties) 

•

Syslog data (Syslog.properties) 

•

HCM Logging data (logging.properties and log4j.xml)
