Backing up WEBppliance configuration settings

If you have FTP access, you can back up your WEBppliance configuration settings at any time using the Backup/Restore Manager.

The backup saves data from the following directories to the FTP server you specify.

• /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt

• /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key

• /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.csr/server.csr

These directories contain data about Web server certificates, keys, and certificate requests.

• /etc/mail/access

• /etc/mail/access.db

These directories contain data about spam filter settings.
