What Data Is Backed Up

You can choose to back up all data, or any combination of the following data:

  • Spam quarantine, including messages and meta data

  • Centralized policy, virus, and outbreak quarantines, including messages and meta data

  • Email tracking (message tracking), including messages and meta data

  • Web tracking

  • Reporting (Email and Web)

  • Safelist/blocklist

After the data transfer is finished, the data on the two appliances will be identical.

Configurations and logs are not backed up using this process. To back up those items, see Other Important Backup Tasks.

Each backup after the first backup copies only the information generated since the last backup.
