Uploading backup files

Prev Next

You can upload backup files from your local machine to the appliance. One backup file is used to restore the database for multiple appliances. The uploaded backup files are stored in the same location where you saved the local backup files.

Note

You can use the Web UI to upload a backup file or you can secure copy (SCP) the backup file directly to the /data/fe-backups directory on the appliance.
