Automated Backup
Do not perform automatic backup
This is the default option. When selected, SecurityGateway will not automatically backup the database or server configuration.
Automatically backup configuration data every [xx] day(s) at [xx:xx]
Choose this option if you wish to export/backup SecurityGateway's configuration, but not backup the entire database. Specify the number of days to wait between automatic exports and the exact time to do it. These files will be listed on the Restore page and have file names that begin with "Export".
|
When using this backup method, ONLY SecurityGateway's configuration and settings are backed up, including user and domain information, not the entire database. Consequently, if you restore the system from this type of backup file then all messages, session transcripts, reports, the message log, and so on will be lost—only the configuration and settings will be restored. |
Automatically backup entire database every [xx] day(s) at [xx:xx]
Choose this option if you wish to backup SecurityGateway's entire database, including your configuration and settings, the Message Log, Reports, transcripts, and so on. Specify the number of days to wait between automatic backups and the exact time to perform the backup. These files will be listed on the Restore page and have file names that begin with "Backup".
|
The contents of the Attachments folder are NOT included in the backup file. If you wish to backup attachments then use your third party backup software or some other external method to do so. Further, although the Message Log is included when backing up the entire database, the Log Files are not. If you wish to backup the log files then you must use your backup software or external method to do that as well. |
Store only [xx] backup file(s). The oldest backup file(s) will be deleted.
Click this checkbox if you wish to store only a certain number of backup files, and specify the number of files to store. When the maximum number of files is reached, the oldest file will be deleted whenever a new backup file is created. This option is disabled by default.
