8.1.1 How to Backup/Restore Configuration Files

This screen allows you to back up the acceleration server configuration files so that you can quickly
restore your FX as part of a disaster recovery procedure. The files include hostname, time-zone, and IP
addresses for the management and in-path interfaces, DNS server, settings, application policies, and SSL
security certificates. The files are backed up to a single ".zip" file which is then downloaded to your
desktop workstation.
Backup FX Acceleration and Management Configuration:
This button causes all FX configuration files to be stored into a zip file with the name "fxbackup-
full_hostname_year-month-day-hour-minute.zip". Following this, a dialog will appear so that you can
save this file to your desktop.
Restore FX Acceleration and Management Configuration:
This button should only be clicked after selecting a backup zip file using the "Choose File" button.
Following this, clicking the "Restore Acceleration Appliance" button will restore both the acceleration
and management settings from the specified zip file. The specified zip file should have been previously
created using the "Backup FX Acceleration Appliance and Management" button. The FX appliance will
automatically be rebooted following this restoration so that new management settings are applied.
Restore FX Acceleration Configuration Only:
This button should only be clicked after selecting a backup zip file using the "Choose File" button.
Following this, clicking the "Restore Acceleration Appliance" button will restore only the acceleration
settings and exclude any management settings from the specified zip file. This is useful for transferring
similar acceleration configurations from one FX to another without affecting management settings. The
specified zip file should have been previously created using the "Backup FX Acceleration and
Management Configuration" button.
NOTE: The appliance will automatically restart after the restore.
