NSX Manager 6.2 backup/restore

[admin]

Hi !  Guys

After restore a NSX Manager 6.2 backup file to a configured NSX appliance. The NSX Manager backup schedule stopped to work and the manually backup/restore job would face following error:

". Exception occurred while taking backup. ( Another backup/restore operation is in progress ). "

Seems the old backup/restore session stick the whole NSX Manager backup/restore function. It would not be solved by reboot NSX Manager appliance.

Are there some guy meet the same problem ?

Are there some way to kill the old operation ?

Thanks a lot !

We are facing the same issue, were you able to get it resolved?

During a recent "NSX Troubleshooting and Operation" class I was told that, in order to successfully restore the NSX Manager appliance, you have to restore your backup into a brand new NSX Manager, you cannot restore onto the existing one.

Let us know whether this helps...

Adding to the comment...

Documentation states "You can restore a backup only on a freshly deployed NSX Manager appliance" in pre-6.2 versions:  NSX 6 Documentation Center

Appears it " might work...but is not officially supported" in 6.2 documentation:  VMware NSX 6.2 for vSphere Documentation Center

Thank you for your help, We will try to resolve this by adding a secondary NSX Manager, the issue we  face is that we are not able to take a fresh backup to restore into the "Fresh" NSX manager.
