Because restoring a profile, template, pool, or policy overwrites the original if it exists on the UCS, it is recommended that you view the contents of a backup before selecting items to restore. Files contained in the UCS profile backup adhere to standard naming conventions. For example, the filename for a service profile begins with the prefix -ls. See Identifying files in UCS service profile backups for a list of file naming conventions you can use to correctly identify items in the backup that you want to restore.
