Backup and restore

The Backup & Restore tab in the Senstar Symphony Server configuration interface is the interface for backing up and restoring Senstar Symphony Server configurations.

You can use configurations to move settings between different Senstar Symphony Server instances or to restore an existing Senstar Symphony Server.

If you have a Senstar Symphony Server farm, it is strongly recommended that you save the backups to a location that is not on one of the servers in the farm, but is available to all of the servers in the farm (e.g., a NAS). This helps to recover servers in disaster recovery situations. Additionally, if you have a Maintenance and Support license, you can save backups online to the Senstar Xnet.

The Senstar Symphony Server does not support restoring a configuration from an earlier version of the Senstar Symphony Server.
