Managing automatic backup plans
You can back up the configurations of network devices. With the Auto Backup Plan, you can schedule
automated backups of configuration files for one or more devices. Backups can be scheduled to run
every day, every week, or every month at a specified time. In addition, you can select one or more
devices for automated backup. Or, with a single click of the mouse, you can configure a network-wide
device configuration backup.
By using the Backup History Report you gain visibility into the backup results for all backup tasks,
including backups initiated manually and backups initiated through an auto backup plan.
Once a backup task has been initiated, whether manual or scheduled, you can view the results in the
Backup History Report.
Storing device configuration backups in cipher text
By default, iCC stores device configuration backups in plain text to the \server\data\cfgbak
(/server/data/cfgbak for Linux) directory of the IMC installation path. The configuration backups can be
viewed by any system user who has the privileges to the directory. To enhance security for the backups,
you can configure IMC to store them in cipher text.
To configure IMC to store device configuration backups in cipher text on Windows:
1. Open the qvdm.conf file with WordPad in the \IMC\server\conf directory of the IMC installation
path.
2. Find the following parameter:
#flag indicate if the configuration file is encrypt stored, 1: encrypt; 0, plain text
#EncryptConfigFileFlag = 0
3. Set the value of the EncryptConfigFileFlag parameter to 1:
#EncryptConfigFileFlag = 1
4. Save and close the file.
5. Restart the IMC service.
To configure IMC to store device configuration backups in cipher text on Linux:
1. Open the qvdm.conf file with the vi editor in the /IMC/server/conf directory of the IMC installation
path and press i to enter insert mode.
2. Find the following parameter:
#flag indicate if the configuration file is encrypt stored, 1: encrypt; 0, plain text
#EncryptConfigFileFlag = 0
3. Set the value of the EncryptConfigFileFlag parameter to 1:
#EncryptConfigFileFlag = 1
4. Press Esc and then enter the wq command to save and close the file.
5. Restart the IMC service.
With the configuration, IMC starts to store device configuration backups in cipher text.
The configuration does not encrypt existing configuration backups.
