Restoring server settings from a backup copy using the application administrator menu

To restore Central Node server settings from a backup copy, you must first create a backup copy of current server settings. In case of an error when restoring server settings you will be able to use a backup copy of server settings.

To restore server settings from a previously created backup copy, perform the following actions in the administrator menu of the server:

1. In the list of sections of the application administrator menu, select the System administration section.
2. Press ENTER.

   This opens the action selection window.

3. In the list of actions, select Backup/Restore settings.
4. Press ENTER.

   This opens the Backup/Restore settings window.

5. In the list of files containing backup copies of the application, select the file from which you want to restore the server settings.

   If the necessary file is not listed, upload the file containing the backup copy of the settings to the server.

6. Press ENTER.

   This opens the action selection window.

7. In the list of actions, select Restore <name of the file with the backup copy of server settings>.
8. Press ENTER.

   This opens the action confirmation window.

9. Click Restore.

   The process of restoring the server settings from the backup copy starts.

10. When prompted, enter the administrator password of the server on which the backup copy of server settings was created.
11. Press ENTER.
12. Enter the administrator password of the server on which you are restoring server settings from backup.
13. Press ENTER.

Server settings are restored from the selected file.

The backup copy of the server settings does not include settings for receiving mirrored traffic from SPAN ports. If you have previously configured the receipt of mirrored traffic from SPAN ports and want to keep receiving it, you need to configure the receipt of mirrored traffic before restoring server settings from backup. Then you need to enable the receipt of mirrored traffic from SPAN ports when updating the application, at the Configuring receipt of mirrored traffic from SPAN ports step.

The backup copy of Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform settings does not contain ICAP exclusion settings. If you need to save and restore ICAP exclusion settings, contact Technical Support before you restore server settings.

If the hardware configuration of the Central Node server on which the backup copy was created differs from the hardware configuration of the server on which you are planning to restore the server settings, you need to reconfigure the application scaling settings after restoring.
