Backup and Restore

It is the responsibility of the Appliance Administrator to manage Safeguard for Privileged Passwords backups.

As a best practice, store backups on an archive server that is external from the appliance so that the backup image is available for restoration even if there is a catastrophic disk or hardware failure. Keep only a minimum number of backup files on the appliance. After you download or archive the Safeguard Backup Files (.sgb), use Delete to remove them. You can set the maximum number of backup files you want Safeguard for Privileged Passwords to retain on the appliance in Backup and Retention.

For maximum backup protection, Appliance Administrators can configure the cluster wide GPG public key or password encryption. Either will protect all subsequent backups generated from each appliance in the cluster. GPG protection will apply when downloaded or archived. Password protection will apply when generated. For details, see:

Go to Backup and Restore:

web client: Navigate to Backup and Retention > Backup and Restore.

The Backup and Restore page lists this information for the backups that are currently in the database.
