Import Backup (Restore)
To import (restore) an existing backup:
1.
Open the Backup menu in the System directory.
2.
Click the Browse... button next to Import Backup.
3.
Select the backup file <File name> that you want to import and click Open.
Note: Do not use a UNC path to read in the backup in Microsoft Windows.
4.
Under Import Backup, open the Backup menu and click the Start button. The backup packet is
loaded into the RouteFinder and checked. If the file selected is accepted, the backup information is
provided. If the uploaded file is a valid and version-compatible backup, a brief summary of the backup
content is displayed.
5.
Verify the backup information.
6.
Import the backup file into the active system by clicking the Start button. The backup is then
imported.
Caution: Backup does not save the system passwords (loginuser, root, lilo) or the RSA key for VPN.
Note for Microsoft Windows users: you must attach network-shares to a logical drive. You can not use
UNC filenames for backup.
You will probably want to keep routine backups of all aspects of your RouteFinder to let you
re-build it in case of an emergency, as well as to use as evidence if and when you discover a successful
attack (letting you compare the before and after states of the RouteFinder).
You may want to store all alerts and notificatons (set up in System|Settings|Notification and described
in Chapter 2 of this manual).
