Back Up and Restore a PolicyCenter Configuration

Make a Single Backup of a PolicyCenter Configuration

When you commit a draft configuration, the PolicyCenter automatic backup feature can make a backup copy of the original sharable configuration before it merges in the changes from the draft, in the event that you may want to undo the changes at a later time. Although the automatic backup feature can only be enabled or disabled by PolicyCenter administrators, users assigned to other PolicyCenter organizations can still make individual backups of their configurations without enabling the automatic backup feature or comitting a draft.

To create a single backup copy of a PolicyCenter sharable configuration:

1. Click the Configurations tab. The PolicyCenter Configurations window opens.
   
   
2. The left window pane displays the configuration tree. Click the name of the configuration you want to back up.  show screen
   
   
3. Click the Operations tab in the right window pane to display the Operations pane.  show screen
   
   
4. Click Backup.

The new backup configuration will appear in the configuration tree with the text "-backup" added to the configuration name.

Undo (Rollback) Changes to a PolicyCenter Configuration

When you roll back changes to a PolicyCenter configuration, you restore that configuration to the state of its most current backup. Backup configurations appear in the configuration tree with the text -backup after the configuration name. Note that you cannot roll back changes to a PolicyCenter configuration unless a backup of that configuration already exists.

To roll back a PolicyCenter sharable configuration to its previous backup:

1. Click the Configurations tab. The PolicyCenter Configurations window opens.
   
   
2. The left window pane displays the configuration tree. Click the name of the configuration you want to roll back to its previous state.  show screen
   
   
3. Click the Operations tab in the right window pane to display the Operations pane.  show screen
   
   
4. Click Rollback.
