Availability of Services During Backups 
Backing up a Security Management appliance copies the active data set from the ‘source’ Security 
Management appliance to a ‘target’ Security Management appliance with minimum disruption on the 
originating ‘source’ appliance. 
The phases of the backup process and their effect on the availability of services are as follows:
  •
Phase 1—Phase 1 of the backup process starts with the data transfer between the source and target 
appliances. During data transfer, services on the source appliance remain running, therefore data 
collection can still continue. However, services are shut down on the target appliance. Once the data 
transfer is complete from the source to target appliance, Phase 2 begins.
  •
Phase 2—When Phase 2 begins, services on the source appliance are shut down. Any differences 
that have collected during the data transfer between the source and target appliance since the initial 
shutdown are copied to the target appliance and the service is brought back up for both the source 
and the target. This allows maintain maximum uptime on the source appliance and no data loss for 
either appliance.
During the backup, data availability reports may not work, and when viewing the message tracking 
results, the hostname for each message may be labeled as ‘unresolved’. 
If you try to schedule a report and forget that a backup is in progress, you can check the system status 
by choosing Management Appliance > Centralized Services. From this window you can see the 
warning that a system backup is in progress: 
Interruption of a Backup Process 
Note
If there is an unexpected reboot of the source appliance while a backup is being performed, the target 
appliance is unaware of this stoppage. You must cancel the backup on the target appliance.
If there is an interruption of the backup process and the backup process is not completed, the next time 
a backup is attempted, the Security Management appliance can start the backup process up from where 
it was stopped.
