Keeper Connection Manager is packaged and installed in your environment. As such, backups should be taken in order to recover the environment if required.

It is highly recommended to perform backups of the following components:

  1. and other critical files

Server Backup Instructions

  • We recommend performing daily snapshots of your Keeper Connection Manager instances.

  • In most installations, a database running locally or within the Docker containers includes the connection and user data. When backing up the instance, ensure that the database is included.

  • When using the Advanced Linux Install method, ensure that the /etc/guacamole/ folder is included in the snapshot.

Database Snapshots

  • For Docker and Auto Docker install methods, the kcm-setup.run backup command will run a backup locally.

  • For other installation methods, please use the database platform's backup features, for example mysqladmin on MySQL-backed installs.

Docker compose

  • Back up and protect the files located in /etc/kcm-setup/ which include docker-compose.yml and any other files which are being utilized by your container.
