Software: Download a Backup, Upgrade Software
It is an important disaster recovery best practice to save a backup copy of your software settings regularly. BeyondTrust recommends backing up your Secure Remote Access Appliance configuration each time you change its settings. In the event of a hardware failure, a backup file will speed time-to-recovery and, if necessary, allow BeyondTrust to provide you access to temporary hosted services while retaining the settings from your most recent backup.
Backup Password
To password protect your software backup file, create a password. If you do choose to set a password, you will be unable to revert to the backup without providing the password.
Include logged history
If this option is checked, your backup file will include session logs. If unchecked, session reporting data will be excluded from the backup.
Download Backup
Save a secure copy of your software configuration. Save this file in a secure location.
The Vault encryption key is used to encrypt and decrypt all the Vault credentials stored on the appliance. If you are ever required to restore configuration data from a backup onto a new appliance, you must also restore the Vault encryption key from a backup to be able to use the encrypted Vault credentials contained in the configuration backup.
Should you need to revert to a backup, browse to the latest backup file that you saved.
If you created a password for your backup file, enter it here.
Upload Backup
Upload the backup file to your Secure Remote Access Appliance and restore your site's settings to those saved on the backup.
For more information, please see Back Up Procedures.
Select a software update file to manually upload new software packages from BeyondTrust. You will be asked to confirm that you wish to upload the software package. The Uploaded Update section displays additional information to verify your uploaded package. Click Install if you wish to complete the installation process, or Delete Update if you wish to clear the update staging area. If your update package only contains additional licenses, you can install the update without restarting the appliance. After confirmation that you wish to install, the page will display a progress bar to notify you of the overall installation progress. Updates made here will automatically update all sites and licenses on your Secure Remote Access Appliance.
Your Secure Remote Access Appliance administrative can also use the Check for Updates feature of the appliance interface to automatically search for and install new software packages.
