Perform Back ups

For the purposes of disaster recovery, ensure the following locations are backed up

weekly, with nightly differentials. For more information on planning for disaster recovery,

refer tohttp://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/04/sln292355/plan-for-disaster-recovery-and-high-availability-with-dell-

Security Management Server Backups

On a regular basis, back up the files that are stored in the location you selected for configuration file backup during installation

(step 10 on page 27) or upgrade/migration (step 6 on page 68). Weekly backups of this data are acceptable, since it should

rarely change and can be manually reconfigured if needed. The most critical files store information necessary to connect to the

database:

<Installation folder>\Enterprise Edition\Compatibility Server\conf\server_config.xml

<Installation folder>\Enterprise Edition\Compatibility Server\conf\secretKeyStore

<Installation folder>\Enterprise Edition\Compatibility Server\conf\gkconfig.xml

SQL Server Backups

Perform nightly full backups with transactional logging enabled, and perform differential database backups every 3-4 hours. If a

backup database is available, then the recommendation would be that transaction logs and/or log shipping tasks be performed

in 15-minute intervals (or shorter intervals if possible). As always, Dell recommends database best practices are used for the Dell

Server database and that Dell software is included in your organization's disaster recovery plan.

For additional information on SQL Server best practices, see the following list, which should be implemented when Dell Security

is installed if not already implemented.

PostgreSQL Server Backups

Audit events are stored in the PostgreSQL Server at C:\ProgramData\Dell\PostgreSQL\10.7\data, which should be routinely

backed up. For backup instructions, refer to /C:/ProgramData/Dell/PostgreSQL/10.7/data.

Dell recommends that database best practices are used for the PostgreSQL database and that Dell software is included in your

organization's disaster recovery plan.
