Backup and recovery

Back up your IBM QRadar configuration information and data so that you can recover from a system failure or data loss.

Use the backup and recovery that is built-in to QRadar to back up your data. However, you must restore the data manually. By default, QRadar creates a daily backup archive of your configuration information at midnight. The backup archive includes configuration information, generated data, or both from the previous day.

You can create the following types of backup:

• Configuration backups, which include system configuration data, for example, assets and log sources in your QRadar deployment.
• Data backups, which include information that is generated by a working QRadar deployment such as log information or event dates.

For more information about backing up and recovering your data, see the IBM QRadar Administration Guide.
