Scheduling backups
Administrator Help | Forcepoint DLP | Version 8.4.x
To schedule a Forcepoint DLP backup:
1.
On the Forcepoint management server, open the Windows Task Scheduler (Start > Administrative Tools > Task Scheduler).
2.
In the Task Scheduler window, select Task Scheduler Library.
3.
Right-click the DSS Backup task and select Enable.
4.
Right-click DSS 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 an administrator password for the management server machine to confirm the changes to the task.
To run the task immediately, right-click DSS Backup and select Run.
All backups are "hot"—that is, they do not interfere with system operation. As a best practice, however, 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 Forcepoint DLP machines.
Monitoring backups
Every backup operation writes start and completion entries in the system log screen (Main > Logs > System Log) in the Data Security module of the Forcepoint Security Manager.
In addition, every backup operation writes an entry in the Windows Event Log. Third-party tools such as Microsoft's SCOM and the open-source Zenoss can be used to monitor the backup process and create alerts and reports.
