HOST MAINTENANCE

BACKUP AND RESTORE

Administrators can back up the HySecure configuration and restore the same in case of a disaster.

The backup file is stored on administrator's desktop which can be uploaded back to gateway for restoration.

There are two backup options available: Backup User Settings only and Backup Whole System.

BACKUP USER SETTINGS ONLY

This backup will export the settings configured by administrator to the desktop.

This backup enables administrators to regularly backup the settings and use them in case the administrator needs to revert back to old state or the old system has to be replicated to a new one.

This backup includes the configurations done under \"Access Management\" and \"Device Profiling\" sections.

This backup does not include any certificate and system information hence is portable across various VPN gateways located at different locations.

NB: This backup does not include any network, system, installed license, security officers, administrators and certificate user information.

BACKUP WHOLE SYSTEM

This backup exports everything including the certificates related configuration. This backup is useful to rebuild a whole system by reinstalling the firmware and then restoring it to the last backed-up state again.

This back includes:

  • Configuration under \"Access Management\"

  • Configuration under \"Device Profiling\"

  • SSL, CA and all system certificates

  • Administrator/User Certificates

Note: This backup does not include information related to network and installed license.

It is important to make sure the hostname of the system should be set to same as what it was when the backup was taken from the system. If the hostname is different, an error will be prompted to the administrator. It will also give the name of the expected hostname.

A freshly installed system can be restored using this backup at the time of preboot configuration.

RESTORE USER SETTINGS

Select the user settings backup file from desktop to restore the configuration of HySecure.
