About deleting appliance backup data

About deleting appliance backup data

Disable or enable appliance backups

You can delete appliance backup data by disabling appliance backups.

Disabling backups can be useful if you want to reduce the amount of data being stored by the appliance. For example, if your virtual appliance uses virtual machine snapshots to back up appliance data instead of using the appliance backup files, you can disable appliance backups to reduce the size of the virtual machine.

Important:
 
IMPORTANT: Disabling backups prevents you from restoring appliance settings and data from the Administrator Console in the event of a disaster. As a result, you should disable appliance backups only if you are using an alternative method of backing up data, such as virtual machine snapshots for the virtual appliance. Disabling backups is not recommended for physical appliances.
Disable or enable appliance backups

By default, appliance backups are enabled. You can disable and enable appliance backups as needed.

When you disable appliance backups, existing backup files are scheduled for deletion at the next scheduled backup time.

Go to the appliance Control Panel:
◦
If the Organization component is not enabled on the appliance, log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin, then select Settings > Control Panel.

The following actions are performed:
◦
All backup options are disabled.
◦
Backup retention settings are set to 1 for daily backups and 0 for monthly backups.
◦
Existing backup files are scheduled for deletion from the appliance at the next scheduled backup time.

Configure offboard backup transfer

Configure offboard backup transfer

Appliance backups allow you to restore your appliance in the event of a data loss or other disaster. When you run into a problem with the appliance OS or the database, and you are asked to re-image the appliance, if you do not copy the backup files to a safe location prior to re-imaging, the backups cannot be restored. The Backup Settings page allows you to configure the transfer of backup data to an external location automatically. When configured, the appliance copies nightly backup files to an external location each time it completes the backup process.

1.
Go to the appliance Control Panel:
◦
If the Organization component is not enabled on the appliance, log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin, then select Settings > Control Panel.
◦
If the Organization component is enabled on the appliance, log in to the appliance System Administration Console, https://appliance_hostname/system, or select System in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page, then select Settings > Control Panel.
2.
Click Backup Settings to display the Backup Settings page.
3.
In the Offboard Backup Transfer Settings section, clear the Disable Offboard Backup Transfer.
4.
Click Offboard Backup Transfer Protocol, and select the protocol that you want to use to transfer the backup files: FTP, Secure FTP, Samba, Azure Commercial Blob Storage, Azure Goverment Blob Storage or Amazon S3.

Option

Description

Disable Offboard Backup Transfer

Indicates if offboard backup transfer is disabled or enabled. Clear this check box to enable offboard backup transfer.

Offboard Backup Transfer Protocol

The protocol that you want to use to transfer the backup files: FTP, Secure FTP, Samba, Azure Commercial Blob Storage, Azure Goverment Blob Storage or Amazon S3. If you want to use an Azure Blob Storage or Amazon S3 you must have a storage account set up. For more details, see your MS Azure and Amazon documentation.

Important:
 
IMPORTANT: Secure FTP (SFTP), Azure Commercial Blob Storage, and Amazon S3 protocols are the best practice recommendation for secure transfers with built-in integrity checking. While FTP and Samba options are also available, they are not recommended due to inherent vulnerabilities in these protocols and unencrypted data transfer.

Offboard Backup Transfer Server

The host name or the IP address of the machine to which you want to copy the backup files.

Path or Share Name

The path of the directory on the machine to which you want to copy the backup files.

User Name

The name of the user account that you want to use to access the destination machine.

User Password

The password associated with the user name.

5.
To verify if you can access the destination machine using the provided address and credentials, click Test.
A message appears, indicating the success of the operation. If access to the destination server fails, this is indicated in the message. Verify your configuration and make changes, as applicable.
6.
Click Save.

Restoring the appliance

Restoring the appliance

Restore the appliance using the most recent backup
Upload backup files to the appliance
Restore the appliance from backups
Restore the appliance to factory settings

You can restore appliance data using backup files, provided that backups are enabled and a matching pair of Differential and Base backup files are available. In addition, you can restore the appliance to its factory settings at any time.

Restoring the appliance destroys the data currently configured in the appliance. Quest KACE recommends that you off-load any backup files or data that you want to keep before you restore the appliance. In addition, restoring the appliance requires that the appliance be taken offline. The Administrator Console and the User Console are unavailable during the restore process.

* 
NOTE: To restore files, you must have a matched pair of Differential and Base backup files. Paired backup files reference the same appliance version number and date, and only paired backup files can be used to restore the appliance.
