Designating a snapshot server

Last Updated : Mar 08, 2023 |

About this task

Configuration data snapshots contain information such as certificates and keys, which can be misused to gain unauthorized access to Avaya SBC.

You can restore a snapshot to the same Avaya SBC product version on an EMS of the same hardware group. When restoring the snapshot, it is recommended that the EMS server is configured with the same management IP used when the snapshot was created. If the EMS server hardware group or the Avaya SBC product version does not match, the restore operation will fail, and the system settings will revert to the earlier state.

Before you begin

Ensure the following:

  • The selected storage directory on the designated remote server is accessible only to authorized users.

  • The snapshot server uses SFTP.

  • The storage directory does not have read, write, or execute permissions for unauthorized users.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the EMS web interface with administrator credentials.
  2. In the navigation pane, click EMS.
  3. In the navigation pane, click Backup/Restore.

    The EMS server displays the Backup/Restore page.

  4. Click the Snapshot Servers tab.

    The EMS server displays the snapshot server profiles in the content area.

  5. On the Snapshot Servers page, click Add.

    The EMS server displays the Add Snapshot Servers page.
