Create a Backup File and Restore the Configuration

You can create a new backup of the current configuration (not the data collected by Insights) from the Backup and Restore page. You can restore the configuration from an existing backup or select a configuration file from your local storage.

Create a New Backup File

To create a new backup file:

  1. Select Administration > Insights Management > Backup & Restore.

    The Backup & Restore page appears.

  2. Click the plus icon (+).

    The BACKUP page appears.

  3. Click OK.

    Backup is initiated and you are taken to the Backup & Restore page. After the backup is complete, the backup filename and additional details are listed.

Note:

You can backup only the configuration. The configuration backup includes the configurations for Security Director Insights and Log Collector, but not for Policy Enforcer.
