Full backups

Full or comprehensive backups are disaster-recovery-grade images of a Plixer Scrutinizer instance and include the following elements of the filesystem:

• Application data and collected NetFlow in the PostgreSQL database

• Host index data in BadgerDB databases

• Plixer Scrutinizer’s third-party encryption key - /etc/plixer.key

• Apache Server TLS certificate and key

Important

The license key (if the instance is a primary Reporter) and the TLS certificates and keys generated by Plixer Scrutinizer are not backed up and cannot be restored.
