If needed, you can export the repository list to external files (SITELIST.XML or SITEMGR.XML).
Use an exported SITELIST.XML file to:
• Import to an agent at installation.
• Import the repository list from a previous installation of ePolicy Orchestrator or from another
McAfee product.
Use an exported SITEMGR.XML file to:
• Back up and restore your distriubted repositories and source sites if you need to reinstall
the server.
• Import the distributed repositories and source sites from a previous installation of ePolicy
Orchestrator.
How repositories work together
The repositories work together in your environment to deliver updates and software to managed
systems. You may or may not need distributed repositories.
Figure 18: Sites and Repositories Delivering Packages to Systems
1
The master repository regularly pulls DAT and engine update files from the source site.
2
The master repository replicates the packages to distributed repositories in the network.
3
The managed systems in the network retrieve updates from a close repository. If managed
systems can’t access the distributed repositories or the master repository, they retrieve
updates from the fallback site.
