where drive is the local drive where you installed Cisco Secure ACS and path is
the path from the root of drive to the Cisco Secure ACS directory. For example, if
you installed Cisco Secure ACS version 3.0 in the default location, the default
backup location would be
c:\Program Files\CiscoSecure ACS v3.0\CSAuth\System Backups
The filename given to a backup is determined by Cisco Secure ACS. For more
information about filenames assigned to backup files generated by Cisco Secure
ACS, see
Backup Filenames and Locations, page 8-15 .
Directory Management
You can configure the number of backup files to keep and the number of days after
which backup files are deleted. The more complex your configuration and the
more often you back up the system, the more diligent we recommend you be about
clearing out old databases from the Cisco Secure ACS hard drive.
Components Backed Up
The ACS System Backup feature backs up the Cisco Secure ACS user database
and information from the Windows Registry that is relevant to Cisco Secure ACS.
The user database backup includes all user information, such as username,
password, and other authentication information, including server certificates and
the certificate trust list. The Windows Registry information includes any system
information that is stored in the Windows Registry, such as NDG information,
AAA client configuration, and administrator accounts.
Reports of Cisco Secure ACS Backups
When a system backup takes place, whether it was manually generated or
scheduled, the event is logged in the Administration Audit report and the ACS
Backup and Restore report. You can view recent reports in the Reports and
Activity section of Cisco Secure ACS.
