Back up a Discover or Command appliance

While daily backups are automatically saved on the local datastore, we recommend that you manually create a system backup prior to upgrading firmware, or before making a major change in your environment (changing the data feed to the appliance, for example). Then, download the backup file and save it to a secure location.

1. Log into the Admin UI on the Discover or Command appliance.
2. In the System Configuration section, click Backup and Restore.
3. Click Create System Backup, and then click OK.
   A list of user-saved and automatic backups appear.
4. Click the name of the new backup file, User saved <timestamp> (new). The backup file, with an .exbk file extension, is automatically saved to the default download location for your browser.
