# Backing Up and Restoring the HPE Morpheus VM Essentials Manager

NOTE

In the event of a total system failure (full crash), the recovery process requires the user to provision a new, freshly installed VME Manager. You cannot perform this recovery on a partially configured or corrupted appliance. The recovery process involves following:

- Provision the replacement VME Manager
- Transfer and restore security keys
- Database injection and reconfiguration
- Verifying the restored VME Manager
