Back up your TRITON AP-DATA system periodically to safeguard your policies, forensics, configuration data, fingerprints, encryption keys, and more.
Configuring and running the TRITON AP-DATA backup task
To configure the TRITON AP-DATA backup process:
1.
2.
Enter a Path for storing backup files and, if necessary, Credentials for an account with read, write, and delete privileges to the path. The path must be in UNC format. C: is the default location for storing backups.
3.
Enter a value between 1 and 60 in the How many backup copies do you want to keep? field to specify how many separate backups to maintain (5, by default).
Each backup is stored in a separate folder. When the maximum number of copies is reached, TRITON AP-DATA reuses the oldest folder, overwriting the previous information.
4.
Indicate whether or not to include forensics in the backup.
5.
Click OK to save the settings.
Schedule backups when the system isn't under significant load. Each backup contains a complete snapshot of the system. The process collects needed information from other TRITON AP-DATA machines.
To schedule the backup task:
1.
On the TRITON Management Server, go to Start > Administrative Tools > Task Scheduler.
2.
3.
Right-click the Websense TRITON AP-DATA Backup task and select Enable.
4.
Right-click Websense TRITON AP-DATA Backup again and select Properties, then select the Triggers tab.
5.
Click Edit, and edit the schedule as required.
6.
Click OK twice.
If requested, enter your administrator password for the TRITON Management Server machine to confirm the changes to the task.
To run the task immediately, right-click Websense TRITON AP-DATA Backup and select Run. Running this task creates a DSSBackup folder and a time stamp folder in the destination folder you specified. For example: \DSSBackup\2-6-2016-2-10-35-AM, where the numbers stand for the month, day, year, hour, minutes, and seconds.
The DSSBackup folder includes these items:

Select the Clear Forensics since last backup check box if you want to use only the stored forensics from your backup file; this will remove all forensics gained since the last backup.
