Sangfor SCP Backup configuration 10

Newbie603443 Lv1Posted 2026-Mar-19 18:33

Hi all,

I need a best practise guide for backing up SCP VM itself. Maybe configuration export/import or backup with third-party solutions.
I can't find any information on this task. Also can't find anything in SCP GUI.
I know about SCP Clustering, but what about backup?

SCP does not provide a dedicated configuration backup/export feature from the GUI like some other Sangfor products.

Best practice is to backup the SCP VM itself using third-party agentless VM backup solutions (snapshot-based backup at hypervisor or storage level). This allows full VM restore in case of failure, misconfiguration, or corruption.

SCP clustering only provides High Availability, not backup or point-in-time recovery.

For disaster recovery, it is also recommended to keep:

SCP deployment ISO and license files
VM templates / images export
Basic configuration documentation

In case of failure, SCP can be redeployed and resources re-imported if required.



Is this answer helpful?
