About backup of management server

[TSOL]

Dear Team

I tried system backup on Gaia on management server(smart1).

The message appear "Peforming backup from smart console on the management server is not sopported" .

 What are the best practices for backup the management Server?

Basically you have three options:

1) Create a backup in GAIA Web GUI - Installation and Upgrade Guide R81.10 - Backing Up and Restoring 
2) Create a "migrate server export" - sk135172 - Upgrade Tools package for upgrade from R80.20 and higher
3) Create a snapshot - Gaia R81.10 Administration Guide - Snapshot Management

It is a new version that supports R81.20, as some things have changed in the "fw ctl conntab at" R81.20.
For example, since about R80.40 the parameter -x was specified, but this did not work in the older versions. As of R81.20, this parameter works. Therefore, I had to adapt the script a bit and it now works with R81.20.

From my point of view it is easier to download the script in version 5 for R81.20. Therefore a new article.
