The Websense Backup Utility makes it easy to back up your Websense software settings and policy data,
and to revert to a previous configuration. Data saved by the utility can also be used to import Websense
configuration information after an upgrade.
- Global configuration information, including client and policy data, stored in the Policy Database.
- Local configuration information, such as Filtering Service and Log Server settings, stored by each
Policy Server.
- Websense component initialization and configuration files.
- Backup files are stored in a directory you specify when you run or schedule the backup.
2. The Backup Utility checks all Websense components on the machine, collects the data eligible for
backup, and creates an archive file. The file name is given the format:
wsbackup_yyyy-mm-dd_hhmmss.tar.gz
Only root (Linux) and members of the Administrators group (Windows) can access the backup files.
Run the Websense Backup Utility on each machine that includes Websense components.
The tool identifies and saves any of the following files that it finds on the current machine:
authserver.ini
BrokerService.cfg
config.xml
eimserver.ini
LogServer.ini
netcache.conf
securewispproxy.ini
transid.ini
upf.conf
websense.ini
WebUI.ini
wsauthserver.ini
wscitrix.ini
WSE.ini
wsedir.ini
wsradius.ini
wsufpserver.ini
From path bin/i18n
i18n.ini
Before running the Backup Utility, make sure that all administrators are logged out of TRITON - Web
Security.
Windows:
1. Open a command prompt and navigate to the Websense bin directory (C:\Program
Files\Websense\bin, by default).
wsbackup -b -d <directory>
Linux:
1. Open a command shell and navigate to the Websense directory (/opt/Websense/, by default).
./WebsenseTools -b -b -d <directory>
Where directory indicates the destination directory for the backup archive.
When you perform a backup, a configuration file (WebsenseBackup.cfg) is created and stored with the
backup archive. This configuration file specifies:
KeepDays Number of days archive files should remain in the backup directory. The default is 365.
KeepSize Number of bytes allotted for backup files. The default is 10857600.
Any files older than the KeepDays value are deleted from the backup directory. If the amount of allocated
disk space is exceeded, the oldest files are deleted from the backup directory to make room for newer files.
