Digipass Plug-In for SBR Administrator Reference Backup and Recovery
6 Backup and Recovery
This section explores the measures that Administrators can undertake in backing up and
recovering Digipass Plug-In for SBR datafiles in the event of a system failure.
Note
This section does not cover backup of executables and system files. In the
event of a catastrophic failure these can be restored or reinstalled from the
original distribution media (and any subsequent service packs/patches).
Once the SBR Plug-In is installed and operational, backups should be made of important files
and data.
Any time changes are made to the system, backups may need to be performed again. These
changes include, but are not limited to:
Changing any configuration settings including the IP address of a server
Adding/removing a Component
Modifying a Policy
User and Digipass data should be backed up on a frequent, regular basis.
6.1 What Must be Backed Up
Configuration files for SBR Plug-In, Message Delivery Component and Command Line
Administration Utility.
User Self-Management Web Site pages and graphics (if customized)
Virtual Digipass OTP Request Web Site pages and graphics (if customized)
Audit Log data
Active Directory or ODBC database containing Digipass-specific data
DPX files (except for demo Digipass)
Any command line administration scripts which have been written for use with the
Command Line Administration Utility.
Important Note
The Digipass Plug-In for SBR installation includes a DPX directory containing
sample DPX files for demo Digipass. These do not need to be backed up.
However, if you have copied the DPX files for your real Digipass into that
directory, ensure you still have the original files (normally on floppy disk). If
you no longer have the DPX file(s) stored elsewhere, it is very important that
you take a backup.
