Automatic backups

Last Updated : Jun 10, 2026 |

Avaya Aura® Web Gateway creates backups of configuration files and user data automatically on a weekly basis. Avaya Aura® Web Gateway uses the following default settings for automatic backups:

Setting

Value

Date and time

Each Sunday at 12:00 a.m.

Backup file location

/var/log/Avaya/backup/

Number of backups stored

Three rotating backups

Password

RAPtor@WELcomE

If required, you can update the default automatic backup settings using the Avaya Aura® Web Gateway web administration portal.

Important:
  • Avaya Aura® Web Gateway recommends that you change the default password for automatic backups immediately after installing or upgrading Avaya Aura® Web Gateway.

  • If STIG hardening is enabled, for automatic backups, you must configure a password 15-character long or more. The default password does not meet STIG requirements and will cause backup failure. You can review the current password rules using the sys passwdrules show command.

  • In cluster deployments, if any Avaya Aura® Web Gateway node is down, then the automatic backup creation process fails.

If the backup creation process fails, Avaya Aura® Web Gateway generates an alarm on System Manager.
