Performing Device Backup and Restore Functions
This field appears for the Admin context only.
Step 10 Check the Exclude SSL Files check box if you want to preserver the SSL files currently loaded on the
ACE and not use the backup file’s SSL files.
Note This check box is not available with the ACE NPE software version (see the “Information About
the ACE No Payload Encryption Software Version” section on page 1-2).
Caution The restore function deletes all SSL files currently loaded on the ACE unless you check the
Exclude SSL Files option. If you do not check this option, the restore functions loads the SSL
files included in the backup file. If the backup files does not include SSL files, the ACE will
not have any SSL files loaded on it when the restore process is complete. You will then need
to import copies of the SSL files from a remote server.
Step 11 In the Pass Phrase field, enter the pass phrase that is used to encrypt the backed up SSL keys in the
archive.
Note This field is not available with the ACE NPE software version (see the “Information About the
ACE No Payload Encryption Software Version” section on page 1-2).
Enter the pass phrase as an unquoted text string with no spaces and a maximum of 40 alphanumeric
characters. The Pass Phrase field does not appear when you check the Exclude SSL Files check box.
Step 12 Click OK to begin the restore process.
The following actions occur depending on where the ACE Device Manager retrieves the backup files:
• disk0: only—The ACE Device Manager permits continued GUI functionality during the restore
process and polls the ACE for the backup status, which it displays on the Backup / Restore page.
Note To enable the Device Manager to synchronize the CLI after a successful restore, do not navigate
from the Backup / Restore window until the Latest Restore status changes from In Progress to
Success. If you navigate to another window before the restore process is complete, the CLI will
not synchronize until you return to the Backup / Restore window or until the automatic or
manual CLI synchronization occurs.
• disk0: and a remote server—The ACE Device Manager suspends GUI operation and displays a
“Please Wait” message in the Restore dialog box until the process is complete. During this process,
the ACE Device Manager instructs the ACE to copy the backup file from the specified remote server
to disk0: on the ACE and then apply the backup file to the context.
Step 13 In the Backup / Restore page, click Poll Now to ensure that the latest restore statistics are displayed, and
then click on the Status link (Success, In Progress, or Failed) located in the Latest Backup column to
view details of the restore operation.
If the restore status is either Success or In Progress, then the Show Restore Status Detail popup window
appears and displays a list of the files successfully restored. When the restore status is In Progress, the
ACE Device Manager polls the ACE every 2 minutes to retrieve the latest status information and then it
