Configurations

All configurations that are done in IPBrick through the web interface are saved in a Postgres database. This way any changes done will only be effective in the system after Apply Configurations.

IPBrick allows the time tracking of all configurations because when you modify something in the web interface and Apply Configurations, a new configuration is locally saved. It is possible to store these configuration files in an USB pen and additionally send them to a configurable email address. In the configuration filename we have the date and the exact hour when a configuration was created. In short, this configuration management allows a fast disaster recovery, in case of hardware problems. When applying configurations if for some reason the configuation can't be saved, a warning message will be presented.

There is a configuration called default which is the IPBrick's base configuration immediately after install.

Clicking in Definitions there are the following fields that can be modified in the connection Modify:

• Source address: Source address to send the notifications (by default administrator@domain.com);
• Destination address: Email address (internal or external) were the configurations are delivered (by default config.backup@iportalmais.pt). You can add multiple destinations separated by a ;
• Message Subject: By default is Backup IPBrick;
• Message body: Should have a description about the IPBrick server type. By default is empty.

! Attention: After the IPBrick installation you should always insert a USB pen connected to server. The pen must be labeled with the name IPBRICK-D and must be FAT32 formated.
