NOTE:
If using Internet Explorer, when you attempt a backup operation from a secure HTTP
session using the HTTP protocol, you may receive the following error message, even though the
document is available and downloaded from the server:
Internet Explorer cannot download filename from <site name>. Internet Explorer
was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or
cannot be found. Please try again later.
This error happens due to security limitations with Internet Explorer. Recent versions do not have
this problem. To perform the operation, configure the following settings in your browser:
1.
Click
Tools > Internet Options
and display the
Advanced
tab.
2.
In the Security settings, select
Do not save encrypted pages to disk.
3.
Try the backup operation again.
4.
After the backup operation is complete, restore your settings to the original values to avoid
Web performance issues.
If you use a browser other than Microsoft Internet Explorer, such as Firefox or Mozilla, the download
of the attachment should work as expected.
