What information is included in the backup files? Is it possible to reduce the backup size? -
Description
Everything from the /tpam, and /admin interfaces is stored within the backups (Reports, Managed Files, PSM video sessions, accounts, user ids, systems, passwords, SSH keys, global settings, agent settings etc).
Information that is not stored in the backup is the /config IP configuration of the appliance - the IP configuration, DNS servers, DNS suffix setup. and /admin settings such as web certificate and the NTP configuration.
The size of the backup file on TPAM is the result of:
1. The size of the TPAM database
- The total number of managed systems and accounts.
- Number of User IDs being managed
- Log files
2. The amount of data stored on the appliance
- Reports
- PSM Session Logs
- Managed Files -

Reports
The amount of space taken for reports is listed in /admin | System Status/Settings | System Status | "Disk Usage Reports (KB)".
To reduce the amount of space required by reports, you can reduce the amount of reports created and the retention period reports are stored for reports in Global Settings. Reports can be stored for up to 180 days on the appliance.
/admin | System Status/Settings | Global Settings | Retention Period | Online Batch Reports
Note: Reports differ in size. To see which reports are larger in size, view the reports in /tpam | Reports | Scheduled Reports | Browse Stored Reports and select a log.
To reduce the number of reports created, select Disabled from the drop down in Batch Reports: /tpam | Reports | Scheduled Reports | Report Subscriptions.
Managed Files
Any Managed File that have been uploaded will be included. The amount of space taken for these is listed in /admin | System Status/Settings | System Status | "Disk Usage Files (KB)"
More specific information on the files can be checked through /tpam | Systems, Accounts & Collections | List Files.
PSM Video session logs
The amount of space taken for the session logs is listed in /admin | System Status/Settings | System Status | "Disk Usage Sessionlogs (KB)".
To reduce the amount of space being utilized by recorded sessions you set the number of days in the archival setting to a lower number. This will store sessions older than that that day on your archive server.
To configure this change "Max Age in days for session log archival (0-90):" in /tpam | Management | Session Mgmt | Archive Settings. These settings will be applied the next time the Daily Maintenance task is ran.
Alternatively, sessions can be configured to be auto archived directly after the PSM session has finished.
This can be configured in /tpam | Management | DPAs selecting each DPA/LocalServer in turn Details tab | Ticking "Auto-Archive Session Logs?".
It is also possible to manually archive Session logs by selecting them and selecting "Archive Now" on the session in /tpam | Management | Session Mgmt | Session Logs.
