7.3 Restoring from Backup

This section describes how to restore an installation from a backup.

If you chose to back up your current installation, a directory named backup is created in the current installation directory. This directory contains copies of the directory or directories that are replaced during the update. In cases where only specific files are replaced, the backup directory may contain only these files. To undo the update, stop both the MySQL Enterprise Service Manager and MySQL Enterprise Monitor Agent, delete the files and directories in the installation directory, except for the backup directory. Copy the contents of the backup directory to the installation directory. Then restart the services.

If you choose to back up your current installation, the installer checks that there is adequate disk space for your repository backup. If there is not enough space, you are given the option of choosing another location; you can also choose not to back up the repository.
