48 | F-<strong>Secure</strong> <strong>Policy</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> | Maintaining <strong>Policy</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> Server<br />

Backing up & restoring <strong>Policy</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> data<br />

<strong>Policy</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> Server can be maintained by routinely backing up the data on the server in case it needs to<br />

be restored.<br />

It is highly recommended that you back up the most important management information regularly. The domain<br />

and policy data, as well as the signing keys, are all stored in the H2 database.<br />

Note: Before backing up the data, you will need to stop the <strong>Policy</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> Server service.<br />

You can also export the signing keys in use on your installation of <strong>Policy</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> Server to a network location,<br />

from where they can be imported again if necessary.<br />

If you want to save the <strong>Policy</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> Console preferences, back up the lib\Administrator.properties<br />

file from the local installation directory.<br />

Note: The Administrator.properties file is created during the first run of <strong>Policy</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> Console<br />

and contains session related information such as window size or the server URL.<br />

Creating the backup<br />

Here you will find how to create a backup of the policy data and domain structure.<br />

1. Stop the <strong>Policy</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> Server service.<br />

2. Backup the \Management Server 5\data\h2db directory.<br />

3. Restart the <strong>Policy</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> Server service.<br />

4. Reopen the <strong>Policy</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> Console management sessions.<br />

Restoring the backup<br />

In the event of lost <strong>Policy</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> data, you can restore the most recently backed up data.<br />

To restore backed up <strong>Policy</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> data:<br />

1. Stop the <strong>Policy</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> Server service.<br />

2. Copy the backup of the \Management Server 5\data\h2db<br />

directory to its correct location.<br />

3. Restart the <strong>Policy</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> Server service.<br />

4. Reopen the <strong>Policy</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> Console management sessions.<br />

Exporting and importing signing keys<br />

You can export your signing keys to an external location or import existing signing keys to replace the ones<br />

generated during installation.<br />

You may need to export the signing keys, for example if you use several installations of <strong>Policy</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> to<br />

manage a large environment, but want to use the same signing keys across the whole environment.
