Overview of Backup and Restore

Endpoint Security lets you back up all security data, such as users and policy information, to one compressed file. Using a command line migration utility, the backed-up data can be restored to an off-line Endpoint Security Management Server.

If you have High Availability, this is usually not necessary.

The compressed package contains:

• Configuration files
• Client packages
• Certificates for client packages
• Endpoint Management database
• Security Management Server database

The migration utility:

• Only exports and imports files that are related to Check Point components installed on the target server.
• Copies configuration files to the correct path.

Prerequisites

• The two Endpoint Security servers must have the same Endpoint Security version.
• The two Endpoint Security servers must have the same Check Point products installed.
• The offline target server must have the same IP address and hostname as the source server.
• The source and the target servers are primary Endpoint Security servers. The export and import operations are not supported from or to a secondary server.
