On the Active Master

Login as admin either on the console or SSH and select:

 "Backup & Restore"
 "Backup PINsafe, and PINsafe configuration files"

The system will prompt for a backup reason. Enter a reason, or press enter to ignore

Ensure that the "Copying MySQL: "pinsafe" DB" line correctly reflects the name of the MySQL DB in use. This may be checked by looking on the DB page within PINsafe
