Use the System Backup function to define a backup operation that can be run on demand or on a scheduled basis. All Guardium configuration information and data is written to a single encrypted file and sent to the specified destination, using the transfer method configured for backups on this Guardium appliance (see the transfer-method CLI command description in the CLI Appendix).
To restore backed up system information, use the restore system CLI command (see the description of that command in the CLI Appendix).
To back up system information:
Select Administration Console > System Backup.
Mark one or both of the Content to Backup checkboxes (near the bottom of the panel):
Mark the Configuration checkbox to back up all definitions.
Mark the Data checkbox to back up all data. (If you are archiving data on a regular basis, this is unnecessary.)
Select storage method radio button from the list below. Depending on how the appliance has been configured, one or more of these buttons may not be available. For a description of how to configure the archive and backup storage methods, see the description of the show and store storage-system commands in the CLI Appendix.

If the operation succeeds, the configuration will be saved.
To run or schedule the system backup operation, do one of the following:
Click the Run Once Now button to run the operation once.
Click the Modify Schedule button to schedule the operation to run on a regular basis. See Scheduling in the Common Tools book for instructions on using the general purpose scheduler.
