3.3. Backup and Restore
This chapter describes planning considerations for backup and restore policies and the tools that are
supported for backing up and restoring your ControlEdge HC900 system.
Formulating a disaster recovery policy
As part of your security strategy, you must define a comprehensive backup and restore policy for disaster
recovery purposes.
Consider the following when creating this policy.
 How frequently critical data and configuration changes. This dictates the frequency and
completeness of backups.
 The safe onsite and offsite storage of full and incremental backups.
 The safe storage of installation media, license keys, and configuration information.
 Who is responsible for backups, and the testing, storing, and restoring of backups?
Backup and restore configurations
Use the ControlEdge HC Designer to backup and restore your project configuration.
