Sync All Target Servers with the Same Settings

If all target servers have been configured and now need to
be set with the same settings, click Sync All from the
source server. This action should only be performed if all
target servers need to have the same user filtering profile/
library settings as the source server.
Two scenarios in which this feature might be used involve
restoring backup data to the Web Filter:
• In the first scenario, library configurations from a
previous date in time are restored to the source server,
and each target server needs to have these same library
configurations as well. Sync All should be clicked after
entries are made in the Backup/Restore window.
• In the second scenario, the source server has failed and
needs to be replaced with another server. One of the
target servers is promoted to function as the new source
server. The newly designated source server should be
updated with the most recent configurations, via the
latest valid backup from the failed source server. Once
this data is restored to the new source server, each target
server should be sent these same library configurations
using the Sync All button.
