Configuration Backup and Restore
BlueSecure™ Controller Setup and Administration Guide 16-3
Backup
All BSC configuration information is stored in its internal database. We strongly
recommended that you routinely back up the database, so that you can restore the
original settings if the current database becomes corrupted or unusable.
You can also configure the BSC to back up its database automatically to an external host
via FTP or SCP. See “Automatic Backup of the BSC Database” on page 10-9 for details.
To back up the BSC database:
1. Click the Maintenance tab and then click Configuration Backup/Restore. The BSC
configuration backup and restore page appears as shown in Figure 16-2.
2. Mark the Backup radio button, and then click Save. A dialog appears prompting you
to open or save the file.
3. Select Save, and then specify a directory location on your computer. The BSC
database file is downloaded and saved with a .BLUE file extension.

Caution: Never directly edit the BSC database backup file, as doing so will
corrupt the file.The backup file is around 1MB in size and can easily be
mailed to Bluesocket Customer Support if required.
