8e6 Technologies ProxyBlocker manual Backup Procedures

GLOBAL ADMINISTRATOR SECTION CHAPTER 1: SYSTEM SCREEN

For each backup configuration created or uploaded via this window, a row is added to the Backup Configurations grid in the Restore frame. The newly added row includes the following information: Date the backup was executed, File- name of the backup file, general information about the Content of the file, and a Comment about the file.

TIPS: The order in which columns display in the grid can be changed by clicking the column header and sliding the column to another position in the grid.

To change the sort order, click the header of a column. All rows will sort in order by that column.

If text in any column displays truncated—followed by ellipses

(...)—place the cursor over the beginning or ending of the column header. When the <—>character displays in place of the cursor, you can expand the width of the column. You also can use the scrollbar beneath the grid to view information to the right of the last column.

Backup Procedures

8e6 recommends performing backup procedures whenever changes are made to system configurations or to library configurations. By creating backup files and saving these files off the ProxyBlocker server, prior server settings can later be retrieved and uploaded to the ProxyBlocker in the event that current settings are incorrect, or if you wish to revert to settings from a previous backup. Additionally, backup files are useful if the current server fails. These backup files can be uploaded to a new server, eliminating the need to re-enter the same settings from the old Proxy- Blocker in the console of the new ProxyBlocker.
