Backup / Restore Parent topic

Configuration settings include both Deep Discovery Inspector and network configuration settings. Back up configuration settings by exporting them to an encrypted file. If needed, import this file to restore settings.
Deep Discovery Inspector can be reset by restoring the default settings that shipped with the product.
The following settings cannot be backed up:
  • Appliance IP settings
  • Apex Central settings
  • Deep Discovery Director settings
  • Deep Discovery Director - Network Analytics settings
  • Deep Discovery Director - Network Analytics as a Service settings
  • Licenses and Activation Codes
  • Mitigation Device settings
  • Network Interface settings
  • Retro Scan settings
  • Sandbox as a Service settings
  • Smart Protection settings in the Web Reputation screen
  • Threat Investigation Center settings
  • Virtual Analyzer settings except File Submissions and Passwords
    Note
    Note
    Virtual Analyzer is disabled after restoring configuration settings.
  • HTTPS Certificate
Tip
Tip
Verify all the above settings after importing a configuration file.
Note
Note
  • Encrypted files cannot be modified.
  • Importing an encrypted file overwrites any settings that are included in the encrypted file, but not all current settings.
    For example, when restoring back up settings from a previous version of Deep Discovery Inspector, any features not included in that version will not be overwritten because there are no settings for that version of Deep Discovery Inspector and are not included in the encrypted file.
  • An encrypted file can also be used to replicate settings on another Deep Discovery Inspector.
