Restoring infrastructure backup data

You can activate the restore operation from the Forcepoint Management Infrastructure “Modify” wizard. Make sure that all administrators are logged off of the Forcepoint Security Manager.

To restore management infrastructure data:

Steps

  1. On the Forcepoint management server, open the Windows Services tool:
    • Windows 2012: Go to Server Manager > Tools > Services.
    • Windows 2008: Go to Start > Administrative Tools > Services.
  2. Right-click the Websense TRITON Unified Security Center service and select Stop. (You may also need to stop web protection services. See How do I back up or restore web protection components and the Forcepoint Security Manager?.)
  3. Open the Windows Control Panel and select Programs > Programs and Features, then select Forcepoint Management Infrastructure.
  4. Click Uninstall/Change.
  5. When asked if you want to modify, repair, or remove the Management Infrastructure, select Modify.
  6. Click Next until you get to the Restore Data from Backup screen.
  7. Mark the Use backup data box and click the Browse button to locate the backup folder.
  8. Click Next until you begin the restore process.
  9. Click Finish to complete the restore wizard.
  10. Go back to the Services window and click Refresh. If any service that you stopped manually has not restarted, right-click it and select Start.

Next steps

Once the restore process is complete, a file named DataRestore.log is created in the date-stamped backup folder that was used for the restore.
