Assets
Navigate to Inventory > Backup/Restore > Assets to create and restore backups of your assets database.
Backup
On the Backup tab, the Generate Downloadable Assets button allows you to create a new backup file of the assets currently tracked by Threat Defender.
The table displays the latest assets backup file with its creation date, an automatically generated file name, and the file size.
Note
Older assets backup files are overwritten when a new file is created.
With the icon in the last column, you can save the backup file to your file system.
Restore
On the Restore tab, you can upload an assets backup file created earlier. This will replace your current assets database.
Note
Restoring assets works best from an empty database to avoid duplicate entries. Make sure that asset auto discovery is disabled under Asset Setting. Then clear the assets database before restoring the assets backup file.
Click SELECT to access the file system where you can choose the desired assets backup file (.json
format).
To restore the backup file, click the Upload button at the bottom of the screen. If you do not want to upload the file, click CANCEL.
Restoring large asset databases may take a while depending on your hardware and the size of the assets backup file. Do not shut down Threat Defender during the restoration process. You can see how the restoration progresses by keeping an eye on the Current counter under Inventory > Assets.
