Procedure to restore a SpamTitan appliance from a backup

Restore procedures.

1. Install the VM, give it the original IP address, DNS, and domain name.
2. Install the Original License File, or a new license, the backup does not contain the license.
3. Update the SpamTitan appliance to the same version as the last backup.
4. Restore the backup.
5. If the network address was not set to be the same you must do so, the backup does not contain the network interface information.
6. Replace the branding and report images, the backup does not contain any of the branding images.

 So the take away from this:

1. Make regular automated backups to an FTP server.
2. Keep a copy of the license key file.
3. Keep copies of corporate branding.
