Backup and Restore of TRITON Data
Backup and Restore of TRITON Data
TRITON Console Help | Web, Data, and Email Security Solutions | v7.8.x
You can back up your TRITON Unified Security Center settings and system data on your TRITON Management Server machine, and revert to a previous configuration if required. Data saved by the backup process can also be used to import Websense configuration information after an upgrade, and to transfer configuration settings to a different TRITON Management Server machine.
 
* 
Important 
Make sure that all administrators log off of the TRITON console before you back up or restore your configuration.
The backup process saves:
*
Global configuration and infrastructure information, including administrator and appliance data, stored in the TRITON Settings Database.
*
Certificate files required for the TRITON browser components.
The backup process works as follows:
1.
You initiate an immediate backup (see Running immediate backups) or define a backup schedule (see Scheduling TRITON infrastructure backups).
*
Manually launch a backup at any time.
*
Backup files are stored in the C:\EIPBackup directory by default. To change the backup file location, see Changing backup settings.
2.
The backup process checks all Websense components on the machine, collects the data eligible for backup, and creates a new folder in the EIPBackup directory with the format:
mm-dd-yyyy-hh-mm-ss-PP
This format represents the date and time of the backup, for example:
02-10-2011-10-45-30-PM
Each backup folder contains a number of files, including:
*
EIP.db: a standard PostgreSQL backup file.
*
httpd-data.txt: contains embedded certificate information and encryption keys
*
backup.txt: created if the backup completes successfully
*
DataBackup.log: a detailed log file containing information generated during backup
These files should be part of your organization's regular backup procedures.
To check that a backup completed successfully, navigate to the C:\Program Files (X86)\Websense\EIP Infra directory and open the EIPBackup.log file in a text editor such as Notepad. The log information should look similar to this:
2/15/2011 2:27:42 AM --- Backing up to: C:\EIPBackup\2-15-2011-2-27-42-AM
2/15/2011 2:27:42 AM --- Backing Up Certificates ...
2/15/2011 2:27:42 AM --- Backing Up PostgreSQL ...
2/15/2011 2:27:42 AM *** BACKUP FINISHED ***
Each TRITON module has its own backup and restore process for the module system settings:
*
For Data Security, see Backing up the system in Data Security Help.
*
For Email Security, see Backing up and restoring management server settings in Email Security Help.
*
For Web Security, see Backing up and restoring your Websense data in Web Security Help.
You should run TRITON infrastructure backups in synchronization with Web Security backups. See Synchronizing TRITON infrastructure and Web Security backups.
