Running the Backup Utility on Windows or Linux

As a best practice, run the backup process on all machines with web protection components within a 30-minute time window. This may include:

• Forcepoint appliances (see How do I back up and restore Forcepoint appliances?)
• The Forcepoint management server

  Note that on the management server, you need to run both the Backup Utility for your web protection product, as described in this section, and the backup procedure for the management infrastructure components, as described in How do I back up and restore the Forcepoint management infrastructure?.

• Content Gateway (see How do I back up and restore Content Gateway?)

  When restoring a previous configuration, restore all machines using backup files created in the same 30-minute window.
