Secure Connect Gateway 5.x — Virtual Edition User's Guide

Configure backup settings

About this task

Secure Connect Gateway allows you to save a backup of secure connect gateway system settings through the Backup configuration page. You can use this backup to restore a system after reinstallation of secure connect gateway in case of a critical issue.

You can save the backup on a local system or on the network share. Recurring backup can be scheduled only with the network share option. The backup can be restored if the secure connect gateway version and IP address of the system are the same.

NOTE:The following are not backed up for security purposes:
  • Device credentials
  • SNMP v3 settings
  • Certificate details
  • Proxy Server details
  • Backup and restore configurations
  • Preferred contact and shipping details
  • LDAP, SMTP, Policy Manager, and adapter credentials
  • Credential vault API key

Steps

  1. Go to Settings > Backup configuration.
  2. To save the backup on the local system, select Local system and click Start backup.
    You can download the .zip file to the local system after the backup is complete.
  3. To save the backup on the network share, select Network share and perform the following steps:
    1. Enter the network location where you want to save the backup.
    2. Enter the username, password, share type, and click Check location.
      NOTE:The supported share types are—CIFS, HTTPS, and SCP.
      NOTE: If you selected HTTPS as the share type and if you are an anonymous user, enter any username and password to configure the network share and backup your data.
      The Schedule recurring backup section is displayed if the entered location is valid.
    3. To schedule recurring backups, select the frequency, days, time, and click Schedule. If you do not want to schedule recurring backups, click Skip and backup now.
    The backup location and recurring backup information is displayed on the Backup configuration page. You can also edit or delete the scheduled backup frequency.
