Hi All,

Whats the pros/cons? for nagiosxi backup and restore process ?

[NinKY]

There are many pros, take a look at the Nagios documentation on Backup and Restoring.

There are also three ways to do a back up. This can give you a sense of what you want. It's good to do backups in case anything crashes or is misconfigured on your NagiosXI. (There are also snapshots for that matter)

FTP

A scheduled backup that will send your System Backups via FTP to a remote server

SSH

A scheduled backup that will send your System Backups via SSH & SCP to a remote server

Local

A scheduled backup that will be stored locally on your Nagios XI server

NOTE: A local backup is not recommended, if your XI server dies, how will you be able to access your existing backups if they are on the server that died?
