Scheduling backups
To schedule a Forcepoint DLP backup:
- On the Forcepoint management server, open the Windows Task Scheduler ( ).
- In the Task Scheduler window, select Task Scheduler Library.
- Right-click the DSS Backup task and select Enable.
- Right-click DSS Backup again and select Properties, then select the Triggers tab.
- Click Edit, and edit the schedule as required.
- 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 DSS 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.
