Email Security Gateway and Email Security Gateway Anywhere v7.6.x
The backup procedures outlined in the following steps are safeguards against an unexpected interruption of your v7.7 upgrade process. A power outage or appliance restart may not allow the upgrade process to finish successfully. You may need to restore your settings databases to their pre-upgrade state in order to re-initiate and complete the upgrade.
Use the following procedure to prepare for your upgrade to Email Security Gateway v7.7:
1.
Back up the TRITON Unified Security Center settings. See the topic titled Backup and Restore of TRITON Data in TRITON Unified Security Center Help.
2.
Back up the Data Security management server configuration. See the Websense Technical Library topic titled How do I back up and restore Data Security software?
3.
Back up your Microsoft SQL Server databases. Ensure that all the files in the following directories are included in your backup:
\\Database\\esglogdb76
\\Database\\esglogdb76_n
\\SQL Server Agent\\Jobs\\ Websense_ETL_Job__esglogdb76
\\SQL Server Agent\\Jobs\\Websense_Maintenance_Job__esglogdb76
See your Microsoft SQL Server documentation for backup procedure details.
4.
Back up Email Security Gateway appliance configuration settings using the appliance back-up procedure.
* 
Note 
You can perform a full appliance backup or an individual product module backup (just Email, or on a dual-mode appliance, Web and Email).
As a best practice, we recommend that you perform a full appliance backup rather than an individual module backup.
See the Websense Technical Library topic titled How do I back up and restore V-Series appliances?
5.
Back up Email Security Gateway management server configuration settings using the options on the Settings > General > Backup/Restore screen. Click Backup to store your settings locally. You can also specify a remote storage location for your configuration settings and then click Backup.
See the topic titled Backing up and restoring management server settings in TRITON - Email Security Help for details.
6.
Upgrade any third-party integration products if necessary for use with Email Security v7.7. See third-party product documentation for appropriate upgrade requirements and procedures.
7.
Redirect email traffic out of the system that is being upgraded.
 
* 
Note 
The Personal Email Manager end-user utility is not available until after the V-Series appliance upgrade.
