Scheduling backups

To schedule a Forcepoint DLP backup:

  1. On the Forcepoint management server, open the Windows Task Scheduler (Start > Administrative Tools > Task Scheduler).
  2. In the Task Scheduler window, select Task Scheduler Library.
  3. Right-click the Websense TRITON AP-DATA Backup task and select Enable.
  4. Right-click Websense TRITON AP-DATA Backup again and select Properties, then select the Triggers tab.
  5. Click Edit, and edit the schedule as required.
  6. Click OK twice.

If requested, enter an administrator password for the management server machine to confirm the changes to the task.

To run the task immediately, right-click Websense TRITON AP-DATA Backup and select Run.

All backups are “hot”—that is, they do not interfere with system operation. As a best practice, however, 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.
