Restoring from a Backup File
To restore system configuration from a backup file:
1. Go to the Configuration Restore section on the Advanced > Backup page.
2. Do one of the following:
Server Name/IP The IP address or fully qualified domain name of the backup server.
Port (optional) The port to use for the FTP or SMB server.
Username The username that the Barracuda Spam Firewall should use to log into
the backup server.
Password The password that the Barracuda Spam Firewall should use to log into
the backup server.
Folder/Path The folder, path, or share name to store the backup files on the backup
server.
Test Backup Server Before enabling automated backups, we recommend you test the backup
settings you specified by clicking Test Backup Server.
Backup Schedule Lists the components you can include in your backup and the scheduled
backup time for each. You can select the following components to back
up:
• System Configuration—All global and system settings (less system
password, system IP, and DNS information)
• User settings—All user settings except the individual user Bayesian
databases
• Bayesian data—All global Bayesian data
• Quarantine data—All quarantine data
After selecting the components, specify the frequency of the backups
(daily or weekly).
Backups to keep The number of backups to keep on the backup server at one time. When
this limit is reached, the oldest backup file is removed to make room for
the latest.
Note
You should perform a system restore during non-business hours when there is less e-mail traffic.
Performing a restore only takes a few minutes, but the Barracuda Spam Firewall will be out of service
during this short amount of time.
