Gateway is automatically backed up on a weekly schedule. See Backup schedule
Gateway backup configuration and one time backup is now performed via the command line. Local or remote terminal access is required to create and maintain Gateway backups.
Backup files are stored to the local file system. Backup files can be stored on a remote system of your choice, independent of the Gateway application, through the OS as a one time or recurring task.
IMPORTANT: You can restore a backup from the same version of Gateway only.
Create a onetime backup
Note: This example is on a Windows based system. The Linux commands are identical; the install directory is slightly different. Sudo can be used to run with administrator level privileges.
Open a command prompt as administrator on the computer where the Gateway is installed.
Navigate to the bin subdirectory in Gateway install directory on the files system, for example, C:\Program Files\EcoStruxure IT Gateway\<version number>\bin.
Type the command ./backup
If prompted, enter a password used to encrypt and decrypt the configuration data. Be sure to save this password for later to use during restoration. This is new to Gateway 1.8 to improve Gateway backup security. After confirming the password, the backup archive will be created. When not prompted, the gateway administrator password will be used.
Upon creation, output is displayed with the Gateway backup id, name, date, and other version information.

Backup files are stored locally on the Gateway server file system, under the backups subdirectory in the Gateway install directory, for example, C:\Program Files\EcoStruxure IT Gateway\backups. From here, the file can be copied or configured for export to a remote file share through the operating system.
