- When restoring a backup to an RSA Authentication Manager primary that has already restored the same Authentication Manager backup, the following error occurs:
Starting RADIUS clean-up..
Stopping RADIUS server

RSA Authentication Manager checks whether the backup source and restore destination are the same Authentication Manager server or not. If the restore function detects that the backup source and restore destination are the same Authentication Manager server, it restores all of the system data.
In this case, the Authentication Manager destination server was already restored with the same of Authentication Manager backup; which is why this restoration fails.
Note: You can see the difference of restoring system data in the Advanced Status View, as shown here:
When the backup and restore destination is the same Authentication Manager | When the backup and restore destination is not same Authentication Manager |

If you would like to restore backup data to the same Authentication Manager one more time, there are two ways to complete the task. Either:
- Change the Authentication Manager server hostname of the restore destination temporarily:
- Login to the Operations Console of the primary and go to Administration > Network > Appliance Network Settings.
- Change the Fully Qualified Domain Name to other name which you want to restore.
- Try to restore the backup data.
- Setup a new virtual appliance
- Setup a new virtual appliance as restore destination.
- Try to restore the backup data.
