About Cisco Secure ACS Backup
The ACS Backup feature backs up your Cisco Secure ACS system information to
a file on the local hard drive. You can manually back up the Cisco Secure ACS
system. You can also establish automated backups that occur at regular intervals
or at selected days of the week and times. Maintaining backup files can minimize
downtime if system information becomes corrupt or is misconfigured. We
recommend copying the files to the hard drive on another system in case the
hardware fails on the primary system.
For information about using a backup file to restore Cisco Secure ACS, see
Cisco Secure ACS System Restore, page 8-14.
