To back up the configurations for the ISA/TMG version of GFI WebMonitor, save a copy of the following GFI WebMonitor configuration files:

 

GFI WebMonitor 2012 R2 (20120831) Onwards

A new Import and Restore tool has been included as of this release. Please refer to the Backing up GFI WebMonitor article for detailed instructions.

GFI WebMonitor 2012 and 2013

  • GFI\WebMonitor\Interface\App_Data\configuration.db
  • GFI\WebMonitor\Interface\App_Data\quarantine.db
  • GFI\WebMonitor\Data\WEBMON.FDB

  • GFI\WebMonitor\Interface\App_Data\configuration.db
  • GFI\WebMonitor\Interface\App_Data\quarantine.db
  • GFI\WebMonitor\Interface\App_Data\WMONHISTORY.FDB
Note: GFI WebMonitor 2011, Service Release 3 (build 20110920 and later) has a different configuration.db structure than previous GFI WebMonitor 2011 builds.  Therefore, you cannot restore a configuration.db file from GFI WebMonitor 2011 builds prior to build 20110920, directly into 20110920 and later builds. If you need to do this, please contact technical support.

Restoring the GFI WebMonitor ISA/TMG Version Configuration

To restore the configurations for the ISA/TMG version of GFI WebMonitor, perform the following procedure:

  1. Stop the following services from the Services console: 
    • GFI WebMonitor 
    • GFI WebMonitor Attendant Service (2011 only)
    • GFI WebMonitor Core Service (2012 and 2013only)
    • Microsoft Firewall (Note: this will break all connections)
  2. Copy and replace the GFI WebMonitor configuration files listed above.
  3. Start the services stopped in step 1.

Note: This procedure can be used when implementing a CARP installation of GFI WebMonitor (ISA/TMG only). This will ensure that the various installations of GFI WebMonitor running in the CARP array have identical configurations.
