To restore only the system configuration, type:

CSUtil.exe -r config

filename

where filename is the name of the backup file. Press Enter.

CSUtil.exe displays a confirmation prompt.

Step 3

To confirm that you want to perform a restoration and to halt all Cisco Secure
ACS services during the restoration, type Y and press Enter.

CSUtil.exe restores the specified portions of your Cisco Secure ACS data. This
process may take a few minutes.

Note

If the backup file is missing a database component, CSUtil.exe displays
an error message. Such an error message applies only to the restoration of
the missing component. The absence of a database component in a backup
is usually intentional and indicates that the component was empty in
Cisco Secure ACS at the time the backup was created.

Creating a CiscoSecure User Database

You can use the -n option to create a CiscoSecure user database.

Note

Using the -n option requires that you stop the CSAuth service. While CSAuth is
stopped, no users are authenticated.

Caution

Using the -n option erases all user information in the CiscoSecure user database.
Unless you have a current backup or dump of your CiscoSecure user database, all
user accounts are lost when you use this option.
