Managing the NSS Restoring a Configuration File 7 A list of saved configuration files appear. Each saved configuration file is named according to the time and date it was saved. The naming format is: HH.MM.SS.NN.DD.YY.tar.gz where HH = hour, MM=minute, SS=second, NN=month, DD=day, and YY=year. STEP 6 Set Restore Volume Encryption Password depending on whether you want to include the encryption keys for the encrypted volumes in the restore. The NSS configuration backup includes a backup of the encryption header for all the encrypted volumes (the encryption header contains an encrypted version of the encryption key used to encrypt the volume data. Including it in the configuration backup does not decrease the security of the encryption because this same header would be available to any attacker with physical access to the system). You can choose to restore these keys or not, depending on the reason you are doing the restore. If the encryption header on an encrypted volume becomes corrupted, restoring the header may allow you to unlock the volume. Also, if you have forgotten the password, you can restore the encryption header. This lets you revert to the volume password as it was when the configuration file was saved. STEP 7 Click Full Restore for the configuration file you want to restore. STEP 8 Close the Web browser. STEP 9 After a few minutes the system reboots. STEP 10 Check the Power LED on the front of the chassis. The Power LED goes to a solid green when the reboot completes. See the "Power LED (Front Panel)," on page155 for more information. STEP 11 Log back into the configuration interface. You need to unlock any encrypted volumes to make them available for storage purposes. STEP 12 If you saved the file to the USB flash device, display the Storage Status page. Linksys Small Business NSS4000 and NSS6000 Series Network Storage System Administration Guide 138

A list of saved configuration files appear. Each saved configuration file is
named according to the time and date it was saved. The naming format is:
HH.MM.SS.NN.DD.YY.tar.gz where HH = hour, MM=minute, SS=second,
NN=month, DD=day, and YY=year.
STEP 6
Set Restore Volume Encryption Password
depending on whether you want to
include the encryption keys for the encrypted volumes in the restore.
The NSS configuration backup includes a backup of the encryption header for all
the encrypted volumes (the encryption header contains an encrypted version of
the encryption key used to encrypt the volume data. Including it in the
configuration backup does not decrease the security of the encryption because
this same header would be available to any attacker with physical access to the
system). You can choose to restore these keys or not, depending on the reason
you are doing the restore. If the encryption header on an encrypted volume
becomes corrupted, restoring the header may allow you to unlock the volume.
Also, if you have forgotten the password, you can restore the encryption header.
This lets you revert to the volume password as it was when the configuration file
was saved.
STEP 7
Click
Full Restore
for the configuration file you want to restore.
STEP 8
Close the Web browser.
STEP 9
After a few minutes the system reboots.
STEP 10
Check the Power LED on the front of the chassis. The Power LED goes to a solid
green when the reboot completes. See the
“Power LED (Front Panel),” on
page155
for more information.
STEP 11
Log back into the configuration interface. You need to unlock any encrypted
volumes to make them available for storage purposes.
STEP 12
If you saved the file to the USB flash device, display the
Storage Status
page.
