Setup Data Protection

FortiSOAR offers a variety of data protection strategies, including scheduled data backups to Highly Available (HA) Clusters and Disaster Recovery (DR) options. Review the available options and, based on your Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO), configure the appropriate strategy.

Backing up data encryption keys

Encryption keys are used to secure data within FortiSOAR. When FortiSOAR is installed for the first-time default encryption keys are generated automatically. These keys are unique to each instance, so you typically do not need to change them.
Important: It is highly recommended that you back up the encryption keys: .Defuse.key and PASSWORD_ENCRYPTION_KEY. For more information, see Backing up the data encryption keys.

Scheduling data backups

Use FortiSOAR's optimized backup and restore process to schedule regular data backups. This ensures data security and allows seamless restoration of data to a new FortiSOAR system when needed.

Setting up HA clusters and DR

FortiSOAR supports the creation of HA clusters using either an internal or external PostgreSQL database, and also provides various Disaster Recovery solutions. For detailed information, refer to High Availability Configuration and Maintenance.
