This procedure restores the PingAccess configuration using a .zip archive and additional customization files. This method can be used for disaster recovery because it uses an automatically-generated file and it restores the entire PingAccess configuration.
  1. Stop PingAccess.
  2. Extract the backup .zip file to <PA_HOME>.
  3. Optional: If you backed up custom templates, copy the backed up content to the <PA_HOME>/conf/template directory.
  4. Optional: If you backed up custom plugins, copy the backed up content to the <PA_HOME>/deploy directory.
  5. Optional: If you backed up custom localization, copy the backed up content to the <PA_HOME>/conf/localization directory.
  6. Restart PingAccess.
    Your PingAccess configuration is reverted to the configuration in the backup archive.
