Method 1 - Back up the configuration tables from the Manager
This method does not require you to stop the Manager. But, you can’t perform a backup if another database maintenance task is already running.
NOTE: You can also perform a full database backup by this Method 1. But it can take much longer depending on the database size. McAfee recommends that you use Method 2 for a full database backup.
- Open Network Security Manager.
- Select the Manage tab
- Navigate to the backup configuration page:
Click Maintenance, Database Backup.
- Click Back Up Now.
- Select CONFIG TABLES in the drop-down list.
- Enter a Target File Name. Optionally, you can also enter an Alternate Target Backup Directory.
- Click Backup.
You see the backup listed in the table underneath the backup options.
- To retrieve the correct backup if there are multiple items:
- On the left side of the table, select the first option and click Export.
- Save the .jar file with the same name as the config backup you created earlier.
- Select the second option and press Export again.
- Save the .dmp file with the same name as the config backup you created earlier.
