Back up your Trellix ESM settings and data regularly and before starting any software upgrades. Then, if you encounter a system failure or data loss, you can restore Trellix ESM to its previous state.
You can back up system settings for policies, SSH, network, and SNMP files to either a local or remote location.
Note
When you add devices to Trellix ESM, the system automatically enables backups for settings to occur every 7 days. You can change the frequency and timing of automatic backups for settings or complete a manual backup at any time.
You can back up incremental data to a remote location.
Note
You must configure and enable automatic data backup, which includes specifying NFS location details.
For FIPS mode, backups ensure that you can re-establish communication between Trellix ESM devices.
Backups are only compatible with the current version of Trellix ESM. You can't restore a previous version on an updated Trellix ESM device.
Note
Do not rename backup files because the system can only restore backups of files that match system-generated names.
