CHAPTER 5:
Backing Up the Appliance
Configuration
This chapter describes how to back up and restore the appliance configuration. You can backup and restore
the appliance configuration to a file, or to an HSM.
Backing Up and Restoring Your Appliance Service Configuration
You can backup the configuration settings for the various services running on the SafeNet Luna Network HSM
so that you can restore your configuration if necessary. The ability to backup and restore your appliance
configuration assures that your clients will be able to connect to a restored appliance, and all services will
function correctly, should that be required.
Backing up your current configuration
You can use the
sysconf config backup
command at any time to create a backup file that contains the
current state of all service parameters configured on the appliance. You can create multiple backup files, and
provide a description for each file, allowing you to backup and restore multiple different configurations. The
backup files are stored on the file system by default. You can export them to the internal HSM or an external
backup HSM. The following configuration settings are saved:
