Recovery using filesystem backup and restore methods

The advantages of using a file system backup and restore over the backupConfig method are that fixes and fixpacks, and the entire configuration including the federated state of the node are restored instantly, shortening node repair time. Although we could restore the filesystem backup only, we decided to initially install the WAS software so that all necessary entries and information in the system registry are set. Disadvantages are that an up-to-date backup for every node in the cell is needed, and more files than necessary are backed up, increasing the storage space requirements on your archiving system. Table A-1 lists these advantages and disadvantages:
