Backing Up Security Auditor

We recommend that you back up the following:

…\SecurityAuditor\db

…\SecurityAuditor\tomcat\webapps\SecurityAuditor\exports

…\SecurityAuditor\tomcat\webapps\SecurityAuditor\logs

…\SecurityAuditor\tomcat\webapps\SecurityAuditor\reports

…\SecurityAuditor\tomcat\webapps\SecurityAuditor\scripts

…\SecurityAuditor\tomcat\webapps\SecurityAuditor\WEB-INF\keys

…\SecurityAuditor\tomcat\webapps\SecurityAuditor\WEB-INF\license

Backup Scripts

The Security Auditor installation includes backup scripts you can use to automate the backup process.

WARNING: These scripts are intended to be used as an example only. In order to be used for your backup process, they must be copied and modified to include the proper archive locations for your environment.

Script location

  • General: security auditor home\sabackup
  • Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Powertech\SecurityAuditor\sabackup

Scripts

Windows:

  • sa_backup.bat
  • sa_restore.bat
  • sa_setupenv.bat

Xnix (bash):

  • sa_backup.sh
  • sa_restore.sh
  • sa_setupenv.sh

Running the Backup Scripts

Before running the scripts, stop the Security Auditor web server and database services.

By default, the backup script will create a backup folder here:

General:
security auditor home\sabackup\backups\YourComputerName\timestamp

Windows:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Powertech\SecurityAuditor\sabackup\backups\YourComputerName\timestamp

EXAMPLE:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Powertech\SecurityAuditor\sabackup\backups\SAServer\20161231-235959

Copy/modify the backup scripts to use a location more appropriate for your needs.

The restore script must be modified to restore from the proper backup location. To do so, change the “SABACKUP” environment variable.
