TZ 180
Backup TZ 180 settings, firmware, and username and password files
As noted in the
“Registering and Enabling Support” section on page 4
, it is critical that you store
known-good versions of TZ 180 firmware, settings files, and documents that detail the username and login
information of the TZ 180 as well as the MySonicWALL account the security appliance is registered under.
You can place these into a folder that the CDP Agent monitors, and then mark this file for the SonicWALL
Offsite Backup service, ensuring backup of the files necessary for disaster recovery of your TZ 180.
Backup remote users using GVC
As long as remote users can connect using SonicWALL GVC to the TZ 180 security appliance, they can
synchronize their monitored folders and applications to the CDP 1440i or 2440i appliance.
Backup remote users across site-to-site VPN tunnels
You can maximize the purchase of your CDP 1440i or 2440i appliance by extending the backup and restore
capabilities to systems on the other side of VPN tunnels. While it is faster to have a local CDP appliance for
these systems, it is not feasible in many network environments.
Backup and restore SonicWALL’s Global Management System (GMS)
You can use the SonicWALL CDP to create real-time snapshots and restore points for both the files and
Microsoft SQL databases of SonicWALL’s GMS. This can dramatically speed the restore and recovery time
in the event that the GMS system become inoperable due to hardware or software failure.
