Back up Citrix SD-WAN WANOP instances
You can back up the current state of an instance and later use the backed-up files to restore the instance to the same state. It is a good practice to back up an instance before you upgrade the instance or for precautionary reasons. A backup of a stable system enables you to restore the system to a stable point in case it becomes unstable. There are multiple ways to perform backups and restores on a Citrix SD-WAN WANOP instance. You can maually backup and restore instances using the GUI, CLI, or use Citrix ADM to perform backups. Citrix ADM backs up the current state of your managed Citrix SD-WAN WANOP instances using NITRO calls, Secure Shell (SSH) protocol, and Secure Copy (SCP) protocol.
Configuring Instance Backup Settings
Before you take a backup of the Citrix SD-WAN WANOP instance in Citrix ADM, you have to configure the instance backup settings on Citrix ADM.
To configure instance backup settings:
-
In Citrix ADM, navigate to System > System Administration. In the right-hand pane, under Backup Settings, select Instance Backup Settings.
-
Select Enable Instance Backups. This option is enabled by default.
-
Select Password Protect File to encrypt the backup file. Encrypting the backup file ensures that the sensitive information in the backup file is secure.
-
In the Number of Backup Files to retain field, specify the number of backup files to retain in Citrix ADM. You can retain up to 50 backup files.
Note
Each backup file requires some storage requirement. Citrix recommends that you store an optimal number of backup files on Citrix ADM as per your requirement.
-
Set the Backup Scheduling settings. Choose one of the following options:
- Interval Based - A backup file is created in Citrix ADM after the specified interval elapses. The default backup interval is 12 hours.
- Time Based - You can specify the time in “hours:minutes” format at which the backup should happen. Citrix ADM allows up to four daily backups to happen on the instances.
Note
Ignore the Citrix ADC Settings section; these settings are not applicable for Citrix SD-WAN WANOP instances.
-
Select Enable External Transfer to transfer the instance backup files to an external location. Enter the values for the following fields:
- Server: IP address of the external server.
- User Name: User name of the external server
- Password: Password of the external server.
- Port: Port number used to communicate with the external server.
- Transfer Protocol: Protocol to be used for transferring the backup files from Citrix ADM to the external server.
You can also delete the backup file from Citrix ADM after transferring it to the external server.
-
Click OK.
Note
Citrix ADM sends an SNMP trap or a Syslog notification to itself when there is a backup failure for any of the selected Citrix SD-WAN WANOP instances.

The procedure to create a backup for Citrix SD-WAN WANOP instance is applicable for an admin user, using the default nsroot profile.
For information on, how a custom user can take back up of a Citrix SD-WAN WANOP instance see, Creating a Backup of Citrix SD-WAN WANOP Instance for Custom Users section in this topic. .
Ensure that a Citrix SD-WAN WANOP instance is added to Citrix ADM for more information see, Adding Instance to Citrix ADM.
To create a backup for Citrix SD-WAN WANOP Instance:
