Backup and Restore
The TOS backup command can backup all or specific parts of the TOS database, including Marketplace app data. You can restore the backup to the same host, or to another host with the same TOS version. You can also use the restore command to migrate the database to a host with a higher operating system version.
In SecureTrack Distributed Architecture, make sure you backup all distribution servers and remote collectors. These backups include only the TOS local configuration. You can only restore these backups as the same component type.
A procedure for automating backup to a remote location is described in a Tufin Technical Note.
The backup and topology synchronization processes should not run at the same time. To prevent these processes from running at the same time:
- Before backing up your database, check that the topology synchronization is not also running.
- Schedule the Backup and Topology Synchronization to run at different times in which there will be no overlap between the two processes.
