Advanced configuration 297 Backing up and restoring Caution: Make sure that the system has enough RAM for this parameter. Before setting this parameter, please review the failover procedure thoroughly. Setting Watchdog Process Email Watchdog Process Email indicates the email address to which Symantec Network Security sends a notification that it has failed over. If this value is not set, no email is sent. To configure node parameters 1 Click Configuration > Node > Network Security Parameters. 2 In Select Node, choose the node from the pull-down list, and click OK. 3 In the left pane, click the parameter that you want to configure. 4 In the lower right corner of the Configuration Parameters pane, enter an email address to be notified that a node has failed over. 5 Click Apply. 6 In Apply Changes To, select the node or subset of nodes that you want to apply the parameter to. 7 Click OK to save the changes to this sensor and close. Backing up and restoring Symantec Network Security provides the functionality to back up all configuration data from the node and restore it at a later time to the same or an alternative node. You must perform the back up procedure while Symantec Network Security is running. The backup procedure produces a tar file of the copies of all backed up files and moves the tar file in a backup directory. For 7100 Series appliances, you have an additional alternative. You can mount a compact flash card on the appliance node, and back up the files to the compact flash. As a best practices policy, we recommend that you make periodic backups of the Symantec Network Security configuration on the master node. This section includes the following topics: ■ Backing up and restoring on the Network Security console ■ Backing up and restoring on compact flash
