Back up and restore the SVP
Best practices dictate that you back up the SVP configuration to a USB flash drive. That
way, if the SVP fails, you can use the backup to restore the configuration.
Backing up the SVP configuration
Back up the SVP configuration to a USB flash drive using a Remote Desktop connection.
After the configuration is backed up, you can use the back up to restore the

When you back up the SVP configuration, the following items are also backed up:
■

■
Password policy for backing up the encryption key on the client PC
■
Window view setting (table width)

Desktop Connection.
2. Close all Device Manager - Storage Navigator sessions on the SVP.
