Backup and restore

Performing a backup saves all user-created data to a remote share from which it can be restored.

  • NOTE: It is recommended to perform frequent backups to guard against data loss and corruption. Also, it is recommended to take a snapshot of ASM virtual appliance every time you perform a restore (for more information, see VMware documentation).

The Backup and Restore page displays information about the last backup operation performed on ASM virtual appliance. Information in the Settings and Details section applies to both manual and automatically scheduled backups and includes the following:

  • Last backup date

  • Last backup status

  • Backup directory path to an NFS or a CIFS share, including an optional user name required to access the share, if necessary

  • Backup Directory User Name

Also, the Backup and Restore page displays information about the status of automatically scheduled backups (Enabled or Disabled).

On this page, you can:

  • Manually start an immediate backup

  • Restore earlier configuration

  • Edit general backup settings

  • Edit automatically scheduled backup settings
