NetWitness 11.x backup and restore procedure or script

[MaximSiyazov1]

I cannot seem to find any documentation or a script to perform a backup and restore of NW 11.x host's configurations. It must be hidden somewhere.

https://community.rsa.com/docs/DOC-81328#110InstallationGuides 

Physical Host Upgrade Guide (10.6.4.x to 11.0) 

yes refer above link and page 18 for back up instructions

That's a backup script for 10.6.3 and 10.6.4. It says:

"This backup script has been qualified on the following versions of Security Analytics:
10.6.3.x and 10.6.4.x
Use of this script on any other versions of the product may not give expected results and may not be supported by RSA Customer"

I confirm this Backup and Restore script does not work in NW 11.1

[MaximSiyazov1]

NW 11.1 is bundled with the new NetWitness Recovery Tool (NRT) but alpha version only. It is officially released in 11.2.

I can confirm this information too.
I was given the same answer in support:

You can't use the backup script for NW11.1 , starting from NW11.2 there is a backup tool that can be used for backup and restore.

The official documentation for NRT (Netwitness Recovery Tool):

NRT: Disaster Recovery (Back Up and Restore) 

I wrote a wrapper to NRT that allows centralized backup of all hosts to the NW server or a remote SCP/NFS location
