You should have a consistent backup routine for the VSP One File management software. Backups help to ensure that data is recoverable, whether you must recover from a catastrophic event or simply restore to a previous configuration.
The backup process creates an initial full backup of the software configuration and then creates incremental snapshots that include only new or changed data. Creating incremental snapshots is faster and more efficient than completing a full backup.
You can run a backup immediately or schedule a backup.
Downloading and saving backup files
You can download backup files and save them to a safe location. If the system fails or is corrupted and you cannot access VSP One File, you must have a backup file to restore the software configuration. When you download a backup file, you must create an encrypted password that is required to restore the backup. You can save the password to a secure location such as a password manager.
A backup file contains the initial backup and all associated snapshots.
Restoring the software configuration
You can restore from an archived backup listed in System Administrator or restore from a backup file that was downloaded and saved. To restore from a backup file, you must have the encrypted password that was created during the download process.
To restore from a backup file or an archived backup, the file or the archived backup must be created in the current version of the VSP One File management software. A restore is not supported for backup files and archived backup created in previous versions.
