Configuring and running the Forcepoint DLP backup task
To configure the Forcepoint DLP backup process:
- Log on to the Forcepoint Security Manager and go to the page.
- Enter a Path for storing backup files and, if necessary, Credentials for an account with read, write, and delete privileges to the path. The path must be in UNC format. C: is the default location for storing backups.
- Enter a value between 1 and 60 in the How many backup copies do you want to keep? field to specify how many separate backups to maintain (5, by default). Each backup is stored in a separate folder. When the maximum number of copies is reached, Forcepoint DLP reuses the oldest folder, overwriting the previous information.
- Indicate whether or not to include forensics in the backup.
- Click OK to save the settings.
Schedule backups when the system isn’t under significant load. Each backup contains a complete snapshot of the system. The process collects needed information from other Forcepoint DLP machines.
To schedule the backup task:
- On the Forcepoint management server, open the Windows Task Scheduler.
- In the Task Scheduler window, select Task Scheduler Library.
- Right-click the Websense TRITON AP-DATA Backup task and select Enable.
- Right-click Websense TRITON AP-DATA Backup again and select Properties, then select the Triggers tab.
- Click Edit, and edit the schedule as required.
- Click OK twice.
If requested, enter a management server administrator password to confirm the changes to the task.
To run the task immediately, right-click Websense TRITON AP-DATA Backup and select Run. Running this task creates a DSSBackup folder and a time stamp folder in the destination folder you specified. For example: \DSSBackup\2-6-2016-2-10-35-AM, where the numbers stand for the month, day, year, hour, minutes, and seconds.
The DSSBackup folder includes these items:
- \certs: Certificate
- \crawlers: Crawler jobs information
- \forensics_repository: Forensics
- \MngDB: DSS SQL DB (wbsn-data-security)
- \PreciseID_DB: Fingerprinting repository + FPNEs
- Backup.text: DSS version
- DataBackup.log: Backup log
- Ep-profile-keys.zip: Endpoint encryption keys (configured in the profile)
- Subscription .xml: License file
- \ResourceRepositoryCache + \ResourceRepositoryCachedXmls: Cached resources
