You need to schedule backups from within CiscoWorks, and then save the folder / directory that is created.

Depending on which platform / version you are running, the folders / directories vary.

Check out the Common Services documentation for additional information regarding backups:

You would simply have to reinstall the application and restore the CiscoWorks backup.

The command line utility is called restorebackup.pl, and resides in CSCOpx/bin.

It will restore the devices and configs, etc
