Backup and Restore FAQ : How do I back up and restore TRITON appliances?
How do I back up and restore TRITON appliances?
Backup and Restore | Web and Email Protection Solutions | 15-Dec-2016
Two types of backup are available on TRITON appliances:
*
A full appliance configuration backup saves the appliance controller and all installed modules.
Forcepoint LLC, recommends running a full backup on every appliance in your network on a regular basis. Note that the full backup file may be smaller than the module backup files, because of the compression used.
*
A module configuration backup saves configuration information for the selected module (Web or Email).
*
*
Separate Content Gateway backups can be performed in the Content Gateway manager. See How do I back up and restore Content Gateway?, page 16.
To include all modules, perform a full appliance backup.
 
Important 
Backups can be restored only on TRITON appliances of the same type and version. Thus, a V10000 G4, version 8.3 backup can be restored only on a V10000 G4, version 8.3 appliance. For complete details, see Restoring your appliance configuration, page 7.

Restoring your appliance configuration
When you initiate the restore process, all current settings for the appliance or module are erased. Backup files stored on the appliance are not affected.
When the restore completes, the appliance automatically restarts.
To restore an appliance or module to a saved configuration:
1.
Use the WebsenseAdmin stop command to stop all software components running off the appliance.
For example, stop Log Server, Sync Service, Linking Service, transparent identification agents, and components on the TRITON management server machine.
*
Windows: Navigate to the C:\Program Files or Program Files (x86)\Websense\Web Security\ folder.
*
2.
restore backup --location <local|filestore_alias>
[--file <file_name>]
To see a list of available backups use:
show backup list --location <local|filestore_alias>
When you restore a full appliance configuration:
*
*
*
*
The current appliance policy source mode (Full policy source, User directory and filtering, or Filtering only) must match the policy source mode in effect when the backup file was created.
User directory and filtering and Filtering only appliances must have retained the same policy-source IP address that was captured in the backup.
*
3.
Use the WebsenseAdmin start command to start the components that are running off the appliance.
*
Windows: Navigate to the C:\Program Files or Program Files (x86)\Websense\Web Security\ folder.
