You can back up and restore the EFA
database and services, such as goFabric-service and goAuth-service.
You can restore a backed-up database for
various reasons, such as if the database becomes corrupted or you want to revert to a
previous configuration. The backup process creates a backup tar file, which you specify
for the restore process.
