Perform an On-Demand Backup

Perform a backup of your application data anytime between scheduled backups. For more information about scheduled backups, refer to Change the Scheduled Backup Time. For more information on full Tenable Core backups and "configuration-only" backups, refer to the Application Data Backup and Restore section and the FAQ.

Note: During a backup or a restore, Tenable Core stops the OT Security Sensor application service. You cannot use Tenable Core during this time. After the backup or restore completes, your services restart and OT Security Sensor resumes normal function.

Before you begin:

Configure your remote storage host, as described in Configure Storage for Tenable Core Backups.

To perform an on-demand backup:

Log in to Tenable Core via the user interface, as described in Log In to Tenable Core.

The Tenable Core web user interface page appears.
In the left navigation bar, click Backup/Restore.

The Backup/Restore page appears.
In the AVAILABLE MODULES section, select the box next to the application you want to back up.
Click Take Backup Now.

The BACKUP IN PROGRESS window appears. The window disappears after the system completes the backup.

What to do next:

(Optional) Restore the backup, as described in Restore a Backup.
