Automated Appliance Backups

Overview

The appliance is automatically backed up each night, by default, at 4am. The backup process copies all system configuration and critical files and the PINsafe instance including the PINsafe DB to a backup archive.

Prerequisites

PINsafe appliance

Options

In addition to storing the backup archive file locally on the appliance, it is possible to configure the appliance to automatically copy the archive to a central FTP server. Please follow Automated_FTP_Backups for details.

Manual Backups

There are manual backup options available:

Backup appliance in full Backup_Appliance Backup PINsafe and PINsafe DB on an Active/Active appliance Backup_PINsafe_on_a_Active/Active_appliance Backup PINsafe and PINsafe DB on an Active/Passive appliance Backup_PINsafe_on_a_Active/Passive_appliance

Backup Time

It is possible to set the backup time, but this should only be carried out by trained personnel, and requires command line access, see Appliance Backup Time Configuration
