Backup folder contents

The backup folder contains a log file, which describes the circumstances of the backup process, and several subfolders—each is a backup of a different component in the system:

Subfolder Contents
PreciseID_DB The fingerprint repository
MngDB The Forcepoint DLP reporting database (containing policies, incidents and configuration)
Forensics_repository Encrypted forensic incidents information
Crawlers Information on the discovery and fingerprinting crawlers
Certs Certificate files used for communication between the Forcepoint Security Manager and Forcepoint DLP network and endpoint agents.

The backup also contains additional information, either in sub-folders or directly in the backup folder. This information may include:

  • Encryption keys (used by the endpoint encryption feature, and by the forensics repository)
  • Your subscription file
  • Your customized policy packages
  • Other relevant information that completes a “snapshot” of the system
