As an alternative to using SCP, the administrator can initiate a backup or restore of the
configuration or complete system directly through the Web Interface. The example below
illustrates how this is done.
Example 2.24. Performing a Complete System Backup
In this example we will back up the entire system.
InControl
Backing up the system with InControl is done in a different way to the Web Interface
Web Interface
1. Go to: Status > Maintenance > Backup and Restore > Backup System
2. A file dialog is shown - choose a directory for the created file and change the filename from
the default if desired.
3. Download of the backup file will then start
Tip: Examining configuration backup files
It is possible to open a configuration only .bak file in a normal text editor and examine
its contents although the file will contain some binary information which means it
cannot be modified and saved.
Furthermore, a configuration .bak file only shows object property values that are
different from the default values. Therefore, the best way to examine the configuration
in a .bak file is to load it into cOS Core and use the Web Interface to view it without
saving and activating it.
2.6.4. Restore to Factory Defaults
A restore to factory defaults can be applied so that it is possible to return to the original hardware
state that existed when the Clavister Security Gateway was shipped by Clavister. When a restore
is applied, data such as the IDP and Anti-Virus databases as well as pcapdump files are not
deleted. These must be explicitly removed by using the appropriate command.
Example 2.25. Complete Hardware Reset to Factory Defaults
Command-Line Interface
Device:/> reset -unit
InControl
This operation cannot be performed with InControl.
