Backing up Symantec Network Security configurations
The Network Security console provides a way to back up a Symantec Network
Security configuration. The backup procedure includes most configuration data
such as topology, parameter, policy, and report configurations, but does not
include collected data such as flow records, traffic record sessions, and
generated reports.
To back up a configuration
1
In the Network Security console, click
Admin >
Node
>
Manage Backups
.
2
In
Select Node
, choose a node from the pull-down list, and click
OK
.
3
In
Actions
, click
Backup Current Configuration
.
4
In
Backup Name
, enter a distinctive name and click
OK
.
5
When the progress bar closes, click

to exit.
Note:
Back up master nodes to preserve policy definitions. Demoting a
master node can leave slave nodes with policies applied to their sensors that
are not defined. Back up a master node before demoting it, restore just the
policies, and reapply them.
Note:
SuperUsers and Administrators can back up a configuration;
StandardUsers and RestrictedUsers cannot. See
“User groups reference”
on
page 319 for more about permissions.
