Backup

and

Restore

Functions
Note
The
backup
and
restore

functions
are
available

only

for

the

ACE

module

A2(3.0),

ACE

appliance

4(1.0),
and
later

releases

of

either

device

type.
The
backup

and

restore

functions

allow

you

to

back

up

or

restore

the

configuration

and

dependencies

of
an
entire

ACE

or

of

a

particular

virtual

context.

Configuration

dependencies

are

those

files

that

are
required
to

exist

on

the

ACE

so

that

a

configuration

can

be

applied

to

it.

Such

files

include
health-monitoring
scripts,

SSL

certificates,

SSL

keys,

and

so

on.This

to

back

up

and
restore
the

following

configuration

files

and

dependencies:

•
Running-configuration
files

•
Startup-configuration
files

•
Checkpoints

•
SSL
files

(SSL

certificates

and

keys)

•
Health-monitoring
scr

ipts

•
Licenses
Note
The
backup
feature
does

not
back
up

the

sample

SSL

certificate

and

key
pair
files.
Typical
uses

for

this

feature

•

up

a

configuration

for

later

use

•
Recover
a

configuration

that

was

lost
because
of
a
software

failure

or

user

error

•
Restore
configuration

files

to

a

new

ACE

when

a

hardware

failure

resulted

in

a

Return

ACE

•
