Access Files in the Web Server Module 87
Back Up the File System On
the Web Server Module There are several items stored on the web server module that you
might want to archive in a backup copy:
• User accounts and passwords.
• List of URLs selected for read, write, or administrator protection.
• Data views.
• Custom web pages.
• Module configuration data.
To back up these files, you use standard FTP to access the web server
module and then copy or restore files. Using FTP lets you copy files to
or from the web server module without interrupting operation of the
module. FTP also lets your standard FTP-capable clients, such as
Internet Explorer or WinZip to copy the system files.
FTP access during a backup/restore procedure differs from normal
FTP access in that you get access to the /user directory, which
contains the /Web directory that is accessible during normal FTP
access. This lets you back up predefined web pages and data views,
as well as any custom files you have copied to the web server
module.
The Administrative Settings
> Server Management > Backup/Restore
lets you lock access to the module while you back up or restore files.
Locking the site prevents other users from HTTP access to the web
server module. Locking the site does not affect bridge functionality
through the web server module, however, restoring files to the web
server module that modify network or module configuration settings
(such as IP address) can affect bridge functionality.
