Configuration Backup Contents
A configuration backup does include:
Metadata associated with the system as a whole, such as settings for NTP, NIS, LDAP, and
■
other services.
Network device, datalink, and interface configuration.
■
User accounts, roles and privileges, preferences, and encrypted passwords for local users
■
(not directory users).
Alerts and thresholds and their associated rules.
■
SRP targets and initiators.
■
Encryption configuration: All contents of the LOCAL keystore, including the keys (stored
■
in an encrypted form). Configuration details, including the Registration PIN for OKM and
the names only of the keys.
Note -
they were created or imported.
A configuration backup does not include:
User data (shares and LUNs). Your user data must be backed up separately, using NDMP
■
backup software, snapshots, and/or remote replication.
User passwords for directory users. These remain stored solely in your separate network
■
directory service, such as LDAP or Active Directory, and are not stored in the backup or
restored.
Metadata directly associated with user data, such as snapshot schedules, user quotas,
■
compression settings, and other attributes of shares and LUNs.
Analytics and logs. Events can be redirected to external SNMP trap receivers or e-mail
■
destinations using Alerts rules.
System software. The system software is automatically backed up as part of the System
■
Update capability.
Replication targets.
■
iSCSI targets and initiators.
