Back Up Your SiteMinder Environment

It is best practice to establish a recovery strategy in case your upgrade fails and you must return to your original configuration.

Important! The most complete recovery plan is to back up each machine’s entire image: Policy Servers and Web Agents. We strongly recommend this method. If you do not want to backup the entire image of each system, you should plan a recovery strategy before upgrading.
