Administering backup and restore
Backup and Restore
The backup and restore functions are executed through System Manager. With these
functions, you can back up and restore configuration data for System Manager and all of the
Session Manager instances. All of the configuration data for the entire system is kept centrally
on System Manager. This means that individual backups of the Session Manager instances
are not needed. After a restore operation, the restored configuration data is automatically
propagated to the Session Manager instances.
Associated actions include configuring data retention rules for specifying how long the backup
files should remain on the system, and modifying logger and appender information.
