•Server Backup — Use to configure backup settings. Backup is a service process that periodically copies and stores application files to an output directory. The output directory is relative to the server and must use a network share format to support backup to the network. If you use a network path as the output directory, you must add network credentials. For more information, refer to “Server Data backup” on page 128 and “Server Data restore” on

page 134.

•Syslog Registration — Use to automatically register the server as the syslog recipient on products. For more information, refer to “Syslog Registration settings” on page 151.

Server Data backup

The Management application helps you to protect your data by backing it up automatically. Backup is a service process that periodically copies and stores application files to an output directory. The output directory is relative to the server and must use a network share format to support backup to the network. The data can then be restored, as necessary.

NOTE

Backing up data takes some time. It is possible that, in a disaster recovery situation, configuration changes made after the last backup interval will be missing from the backup.

The Management application allows you to view the backup status at a glance, initiate immediate backup, enable or disable automatic backup, reconfigure the backup directory, interval, and start time, and retrieve backup events.
