Procedure to restore a previous configuration

Steps

  1. Make sure that all administrators are logged off of the Forcepoint Security Manager.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • (Windows) Navigate to the bin directory (C:\Program Files or Program Files (x86)\ Websense\Web Security\bin\).
    • (Linux) Navigate to the bin directory (/opt/Websense/bin/) and enter the following command:

      export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.

  3. Enter the following command to initiate the restore process:
    wsbackup -r -f <archive_file_name>.tar.gz
    Important: The restore process may take several minutes. Do not stop the process while restoration is underway.

Next steps

The Backup Utility saves some files used for communication with third-party integration products. Because these files reside outside the Forcepoint directory structure, you must restore them manually, by copying each file to the correct directory.

Files that must be restored manually include:

File name Restore to
isa_ignore.txt Windows\system32
ignore.txt Windows\system32\bin
