Restore the backup on the new appliance

The restore procedure includes stopping and starting off-appliance TRITON web protection services.

To restore the Web Configuration backup file created in the previous step:

Steps

  1. Use the WebsenseAdmin stop command to stop all software components running off the appliance.

    For example, stop Log Server, Sync Service, Linking Service, transparent identification agents, and components on the TRITON management server machine.

    • Windows: Navigate to the C:\Program Files or Program Files(x86)\Websense\Web Security\ folder.
    • Linux: Navigate to the /opt/Websense/ directory.
  2. Open the Appliance Manager for the new appliance and go to Administration > Backup Utility.
  3. Click the Restore tab and select Web Configuration from the Select restore mode list.

    The current appliance version must match the version associated with the backup file. Thus, a version 8.1 backup can be restored only to an appliance that is at version 8.1.

  4. Click Run Restore Wizard and select the Another location radio button to indicate where the backup file is stored. Then click Next.
  5. Browse to the location of the backup file on the remote machine, select it, and then click Next.
  6. Verify the details on the Confirm page, and then click Restore Now. When the restore is complete, the new appliance has the same configuration as the instance on the dual-mode appliance. That instance is removed in a later step.
  7. When the restore is complete, go to Configuration > Network Interfaces and configure the network interfaces with the settings you documented on the dual-mode appliance.
  8. Restart the appliance.
  9. Use the WebsenseAdmin start command to start the components that run off the appliance.
    • Windows: Navigate to the C:\Program Files or Program Files(x86)\Websense\Web Security\ folder.
    • Linux: Navigate to the /opt/Websense/ directory.
