Symantec Network Security provides a backup and restore facility available
from the Network Security console. You can back up all node configuration data
and can later restore it to the same node or to a node of the same type. Collected
data is not backed up.
Table 11-1
shows the types of data that are and are not backed up.
On the 7100 Series, you can save the backup files to the hard drive or to the
compact flash. Backup files are saved in tar format. When restoring files, you
can choose from saved files on both the hard drive and compact flash.
Periodic backups of the Symantec Network Security configuration on the master
node are an important part of routine maintenance. This section describes the
