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 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.
On the Control Panel, in the Backup Settings and Restore section, click the Configure offboard backup settings link to go to the Backup Settings page.
3.
In the Offboard Backup Transfer Settings tab, 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.

Restoring the appliance

Restoring the appliance

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.

Restore the appliance using the most recent backup

Restore the appliance using the most recent backup

The appliance has a built-in ability to restore settings from the most recent backup directly from the appliance backup drive.

Appliance backups are enabled and you have a matching pair of Differential and Base backup files available. See Disable or enable appliance backups.

1.
Go to the appliance 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.
On the Control Panel, in the Backup Settings and Restore section, click the Restore appliance to prior backup to go to the Restore Backup page.
3.
In the Onboard Backups tab, select the most recent backup files.
4.
Click Restore from Backup, then click Yes to confirm.
The appliance is restored and restarted. The Administrator Console and the User Console are unavailable during the restore process. Progress appears in the browser window.

Upload backup files to the appliance

Upload backup files to the appliance

If you have copied your backup files to an off-appliance location, you can upload those files to the appliance manually using the Administrator Console, FTP, or Client Drop location process. FTP and Client Drop location uploads are useful if your backup files are more than 1 GB and uploading them through the Administrator Console causes the browser to time out.

You have copied backup files to an off-appliance location.

To upload files using the Administrator Console:
1.
Go to the appliance Control Panel:
If the Organization component is enabled on the appliance, log in to the System Administration Console, http://appliance_hostname/system, or select System in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page, then click Settings.
2.
On the Control Panel, in the Backup Settings and Restore section, click any of the links to go to the Restore Backup page
Click the Manually upload backup files link to go directly to the Uploads tab on the Restore Backup page.
