Scheduling management infrastructure backups

Before you begin

When you installed the Forcepoint Security Manager, a scheduled task for backups was created. By default, this task is disabled.

Notify Security Manager administrators of the backup schedule, so that they can be sure to log off of the Security Manager during the backup process.

Although backups do not interfere with system operation, as a best practice, schedule backups when the system isn’t under significant load.

To schedule backups:

Steps

  1. On the Forcepoint management server machine, open the Windows Task Scheduler.
  2. In the Task Scheduler window, select Task Scheduler Library.
  3. Right-click the TRITON Backup task and select Enable.
  4. Right-click TRITON Backup again and select Properties, then select the Triggers tab.
  5. Click Edit, and edit the schedule as required. By default, the task is scheduled to run weekly on Saturdays at midnight.
  6. Click OK twice.
    If requested, enter the administrator password for the management server machine to confirm the changes to the task.
