Backing Up Security Management Appliance Data
•
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.

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.

Canceling a backup in progress is not recommended, as the existing data will be incomplete and may not
be usable until a subsequent backup is completed, especially if you receive an error. If you must cancel
a backup in progress, be sure to run a complete backup as soon as possible to ensure that you always
have a usable current backup.
