Backup and Restore

Backup & Restore is a feature in My OPSWAT Central Management that lets you automatically back up the full system image of Windows endpoints across your organization. When a machine fails or needs to be rolled back, you can restore it to a known-good point in time from the same console.

Backup and Restore feature is currently available for MetaDefender Endpoint and MetaDefender Kiosk.

This feature is available only through on-demand configuration. Please contact OPSWAT Support for assistance.

Main Screens and Navigation

You open the feature from the left-hand menu under Backup Restore.

Backup

Use the product tabs at the top to switch between MetaDefender Endpoint and MetaDefender Kiosk.

  1. Active Jobs lists every backup job that is currently set up, with its status, target, schedule, and a per-status device count. This gives you a quick view of how the latest run is going across all targeted devices


When a job finishes a run, it moves automatically to the History tab. If the job is recurring (Hourly, Daily, Weekly, or Monthly), a new active job is created automatically to handle the next scheduled run

  1. History tab records each completed run with its start and end time and the number of devices that ended in each status. Use it to audit past backups and confirm whether they succeeded
