-On the Make Backup section, you have the following options:
-
-- Save the Database content – the backup file will contain all the devices, rights, logs, settings
-  and policies present on the Endpoint Protector server at the making of the backup
-- Save the Application sources – the backup will contain files such as the Endpoint Protector clients
-  and others related to the proper functioning of the server
-
-:::note
-The System Backup will not contain nor preserve the IP Address, File Shadowing copies or
-the Temporary Logs Files.

-The second section, Status, returns the state of the system. If a backup creation is in progress, it
-will be reported as seen below.

-![System Backup Status](systembackupstatus.webp)
-
-If the system is idle, the button will return the last known status, which by default is set at 100%
-done.
-
-The next menu, Upload, allows you to populate the backup list with .eppb files from the local
-filesystem. This functionality is useful in cases of server migration or crash recovery.

-The Number 2 (System Backup) menu presents you with the following options:
-
-- System Restore – can be performed if a system backup has been performed prior to the event, using
-  the web interface
-- Import – can be performed if a .eppb file has been downloaded and saved on an FTP server
-- Export – can be performed in order to save existing backups on an existent FTP server
-
-To either import or export the .eppb files, an administrator will need to provide the system a valid
-FTP IP address and the path inside its filesystem to the .eppb file.

-## System Backup v2
-
-From this section, you can migrate the database (entities, rights, settings, policies,
-configurations, etc.) from an older Endpoint Protector Server to a newer one.
-
-:::note
-This feature is not intended as a replacement for the System Backup functionality but
-rather as a migration tool from older Endpoint Protector images to the ones starting with version
-5.2.0.6.
-:::
-
-
-The version of the old Server and the new Server will have to be the same. Before starting the
-migration process, make sure both Servers have the same version (e.g.: update the old server to
-5206, aligning it with the new server that is about to be deployed).
-
-System Backup v2 does not include logs, Audits or System Backups. If needed, these should be
-downloaded before proceeding.
-
-**Example**
-
-The initial Endpoint Protector deployed was version 4.4.0.7. Over time, updates were applied though
-the Live Update section (deprecated starting with the 2509 version), bringing the appliance to Endpoint Protector version 5.2.0.6.
-While these constantly included patches and security updates, they did not include a full roll-out of a new core
-OS version (e.g.: the appliance is still running on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS).
-
-As Ubuntu 14.04 no longer receives security patches since 2019, those that want to migrate to a
-Server running on the latest Ubuntu LTS version should take advantage of this functionality.

+The audit log backups feature allows you to create copies and/or dumps of logs and file shadows into an export file, either manually or on a scheduled basis. Please note that the initial storage location for these export files is not suitable for long-term storage. It is essential that administrators download and store these files in secure locations to ensure their safety. In SaaS environments, be aware that export files may be lost during the upgrade process, so regular downloading and secure storage are crucial.
