Configuring SMP Backup Settings

System backup settings are used for both automatic and manual SMP configuration backup.

To save the back-up file:

• For SMP Servers located in the Check Point Cloud Services, upload the back-up file to an FTP server.

• For on-site SMP Servers, you can upload the file to an FTP server or save it to a local folder. The default path is the installation folder: c:\Checkpoint\SMP\

To configure SMP backup settings:

1. Go to System > Settings.

2. Click System Backup.

3. To enable automatic backups, click Perform and select the time frame:

   • Daily

   • Weekly

   • Monthly

4. In File Storage, select Upload backup file to FTP.

5. Do one of these actions:

   • Enter the FTP server, Path on server, and Password.

   • Click Save the file and enter the path.

6. In File Name, select Automatically generate filename or Use static filename.

7. If you select Use static filename, enter the Filename for the backup file.

8. Select Overwrite file if already exists.

   Note - If there is a backup file with the same name, the backup operation stops if you do not select this option.

9. Click Save.
