Scheduling management infrastructure backups

Before you begin

During management server installation, a scheduled task for backups was created. This task is disabled by default.

Notify Security Manager administrators of the backup schedule, so that they can be sure to log off of the Security Manager during the backup process.

All backups are “hot”—that is, they do not interfere with system operation. However, Forcepoint recommends that you schedule backups when the system is not under significant load.

To schedule backups on Windows Server 2008:

Steps

  1. On the Forcepoint management server, open the Windows Task Scheduler.
  2. In the Task Scheduler window, select Task Scheduler Library.
  3. Right-click the Websense TRITON Backup task and select Enable.
  4. Right-click Websense TRITON Backup again and select Properties.
  5. Select the Triggers tab.
  6. Click Edit, and edit the schedule as required. By default, the task is scheduled to run weekly on Saturdays at midnight.
  7. Click OK twice.
  8. If requested, enter your administrator password for the Forcepoint management server machine to confirm the changes to the task.
