Importing and Exporting Parent topic

To back up IMSVA settings, export the settings from the management console. In the event of system failure, you can restore the settings by importing the configuration file that you have backed up previously. Note the following when importing/exporting settings:
  • You cannot import or export the component list and child device registration information.
  • When exporting/importing your settings, the database will be locked. Therefore, all IMSVA actions that depend on database access, such as performing a mail trace, will not function.
Trend Micro strongly suggests that you:
  • Adjust the component list and child device registration information after import if necessary
  • Back up a copy of the current configuration before each import operation, in order to recover from mistaken import processes.
  • Perform import/export when IMSVA is idle because importing and exporting affects IMSVA performance.
