Full X10G security blade configuration backups

A full appliance configuration backup saves all blade settings, as well as saving configuration and policy data for all active modules. If you have multiple blades, run backups on each one. The backup file includes data for only the blade on which it is created.

Note  If you have Websense software components installed off the security blade—like Log Server or the TRITON Unified Security Center—Websense, Inc., recommends that you run the Backup Utility on those machines at approximately the same time that you back up your blade. When you restore the system, this allows you to restore from a time-compatible set of backups on all machines.

Full blade configuration backup files for Web solution blades include:

All configuration files for the security blade on which the backup is run, including configuration files for the Security Blade Manager

A snapshot of all configuration data. For Web Security, this data is captured by the Websense Backup Utility, wsbackup. The snapshot includes:

Global configuration information, stored in the Policy Database (if Policy Broker is running on the selected blade)

Local configuration information, such as Filtering Service settings, stored in the config.xml file (if Policy Server is running on the selected security blade).

Websense component initialization (.ini) and configuration (.cfg) files.
