Performing a Backup
This backup and restore procedure is limited to configuration files and, optionally, logs and audit files. A
system backup is a dierent procedure. A system backup is a full system snapshot rescue file (*-rescue-
user.tgz). Creating a full system rescue file is an option during the system upgrade process. For more
information on system upgrade, see Upgrade Software on page 359.
Before you perform a backup procedure, decide what to back up and where to save the backup file:
• Select back up configs, logs, and audit or back up configuration only.
• Select a location to store the backup file.
• (Optional) Configure a backup schedule.
Note
It is a best practice to set up a scheduled backup for all managed appliances.
On-demand backups can only be stored locally, while scheduled backups can be stored on a mounted
flash drive or on a remote server.
