Using Traditional Backup and
Restore Tools with ISA Server
2006
. Summary
. Best Practices
One of the most overlooked but necessary tasks for a
security implementation such as ISA Server is performing
regular backups of key system functionality. Even more
important is the capability to quickly recover and restore
that functionality in the event of system malfunction or
failure. Although it is one of the most important features,
this is often overlooked in many other security products,
with disastrous consequences in some cases. Fortunately,
however, ISA Server 2006 includes robust and capable
methods of backing up and restoring ISA configuration or
individual policy elements.
This chapter focuses on the export and import capabilities
of ISA Server 2006 and how they can be leveraged to back
up and restore ISA Server environments. Methods of
automating scripting for these types of backups are covered,
and information is provided pertaining to export and
import of individual ISA rules and/or components.
