To create a backup copy of Administration Server data in interactive mode:

  1. Run the klbackup utility located in the Kaspersky Security Center installation folder.

    The Backup and restore wizard starts.

  2. In the first window of the wizard, select Perform backup of Administration Server data.

    If you select the Restore or back up Administration Server certificate only option, only a backup copy of the Administration Server certificate and private key will be saved. Backing up of the Administration Server certificate and private key can be useful when you perform the migration from Administration Server of Kaspersky Security Center Windows to Administration Server of Kaspersky Security Center Linux. Also, you can migrate managed devices between Kaspersky Security Center Windows Administration Servers. For more information, see Using the klbackup utility to switch managed devices under management of another Administration Server.

    Click Next.

  3. In the next window of the wizard, specify the following options:
    • Destination folder for the backup
    • Migrate to MySQL/MariaDB format
    • Migrate to Azure format
    • Include current date and time in the name of the backup destination folder
    • Password for the backup
  4. Click the Next button to start backup.
  5. If you are working with a database in a cloud environment such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Microsoft Azure, in the Sign In to Online Storage window, fill in the following fields:
    • For AWS:
      • S3 bucket name
      • Access key ID
      • Secret key
    • For Microsoft Azure:

To recover Administration Server data in interactive mode:

  1. Run the klbackup utility located in the Kaspersky Security Center installation folder. Start the utility under the same account that you used to install Administration Server. We recommend that you run the utility on a newly installed Administration Server.

    The Backup and restore wizard starts.

  2. In the first window of the wizard, select Restore Administration Server data, and then click Next.

    If you select the Restore or back up Administration Server certificate only option, only the Administration Server certificate and private key will be recovered.

    When you run the klbackup utility on the inactive failover cluster node, you will be prompted to select one of the options: specify Administration Server certificate or automatically retrieve data from Administration Server.

  3. In the Restore settings window of the wizard:
    • Specify the folder that contains a backup copy of Administration Server data.

      If you are working in a cloud environment such as AWS or Azure, specify the address of the storage. Also, make sure that the file is named backup.zip.

    • Specify the password that was entered during data backup.

      When restoring data, you must specify the same password that was entered during backup. If the path to a shared folder changed after backup, check the operation of tasks that use restored data (restore tasks and remote installation tasks). If necessary, edit the settings of these tasks. While data is being restored from a backup file, no one must access the shared folder of Administration Server. The account under which the klbackup utility is started must have full access to the shared folder.

  4. Click the Next button to restore data.
