System Management
• Backup system configuration — Select this option to backup all system configuration data,
including mailboxes, STA data, licenses and keys. This option must be enabled if you need to
restore system functionality.
• Backup reporting data — Select this option to include reports, email history, and system event
data in the backup.
Note: Backing up reporting data can drastically increase the size of the backup file,
resulting in a much longer backup time. Use scheduled FTP backups to prevent your
browser from timing out when this type of backup is taking place.
• FTP server — Enter the host name or IP address of the destination FTP server.
• Username — Enter the username for the FTP server.
• Password — Enter the password for the FTP server.
• Directory — Enter the directory on the FTP server for the backup files.
• Use PASV mode — Sets FTP to use passive mode if you are having problems connecting.
When you have set your options, click Next >> to continue.
Verify that your options are correct, and then click Create backup now to start the backup.
You can also click Create scheduled backup which will take you to the Daily Backup menu to
create a scheduled FTP backup. The backup file is saved in a Gzip compressed archive.
