About Cisco Secure ACS Backup

The ACS Backup process backs up your Cisco Secure ACS system information to
a file on the local hard drive. You can manually back up the Cisco Secure ACS
system. You can also establish automated backups that occur at regular intervals
or at selected days of the week and times. Maintaining backup files can minimize
downtime if system information becomes corrupt or is misconfigured. We
recommend copying the files to another system’s hard drive in case the hardware
fails on the primary system.
For information about using a backup file to restore Cisco Secure ACS, see the
“Cisco Secure ACS System Restore” section on page 8-45.
