Due too security the use off ftp is not allowed, is there a way to use SFTP to sent the backup files to another device?
At this moment all back_up are stored locally, which is an issue when the harddisk crashes.

Hi Luao,

You can use SCP to send backup securely to another device via the db-backup CLI command.  Here is the note about this on page 476 in Symantec Brightmail Gateway (SBG) 8.0 Admin Guide:

QUOTE:
Note: The db-backup command can back up your appliance with SCP. The Control Center does not offer this option.
See “db-backup” on page 605.

Adnan,


Thanks for your reply, where are looking for a way to automatically daily backup the device on an remote location using SFTP.
As far as I can see this is not possible

HiPaul,

Yes, unfortunately with the current version, you can only use FTP for backup from the Control Center.  You should submit an enhancemnet request.
