Backing up and restoring server settings
Firewall change management can be accomplished by backing up the ProLiant DL320 Security Server
configuration settings before making changes. The backed-up settings can be restored in the event
subsequent changes made to the firewall configuration have unexpected or undesirable results. The server
has an integrated backup feature that saves almost all of the configuration settings.
To back up the ProLiant DL320 Security Server configuration:
1. In the scope pane of the ISA Server 2004 management console, right-click the server name, and
select Back Up.
2. In the Backup Configuration dialog box, select a location for the backup file in the Save in list, enter
a name for the backup file in the File name text box, and click Backup.
3. In the Set Password dialog box, enter a password in the Password text box, confirm the password in
the Confirm password text box, and click OK.
4. In the Exporting dialog box, when the array data has been successfully backed up, click OK, and
copy the file to a safe location separate from the ProLiant DL320 Security Server.
To restore the ProLiant DL320 Security Server to the settings contained in the backup file:
1. In the scope pane of the ISA Server 2004 management console, right-click the server name, and
click Restore.
2. In the Restore Configuration dialog box, locate the backup file, and click Restore.
3. In the Open the Imported File dialog box, enter the password that was assigned to the file, and click
OK.
4. In the Importing dialog box, after the array data has been successfully restored, click OK.
5. Click Apply to save the changes and update the firewall policy to the settings contained in the
backup file.
6. In the ISA Server warning dialog box, select Save the changes and restart the service(s),
and click OK.
Backing up and restoring the system
It is a good security policy to back up the entire contents of the ProLiant DL320 Security Server hard drive,
including the server software and underlying operating system. Use the Windows
® Backup utility to
accomplish this task.
