Automatic Backup

The daily Tufin Orchestration Suite backups include all data for Tufin extensions that run under TOS Aurora.

Manual Backup

To manually back up an extension, run the following command:

sh /opt/tufin/extensions/bin/apps_backup.sh

The backup file will be created in /opt/tufin/extensions/backup.

Restore

The backup file is an executable file. To restore the app data:

Upload the backup file to the SecureTrack server.
Run the backup file as a shell command, and add -r or --restore.

For example:

#sh apps_backup-2020-96-24.run -r

You can restore a backup file to an application with a different version.
