The FTP Backup & Restore tab allows you to configure parameters relative to this specific service's configuration, add listeners and manage access to the service by adding rules applicable to all existing listeners. For details on listeners and rule configuration, see TCP Listeners and  Control Rules chapter.

Through Service Configuration system administrators can manage logging, error and thread control parameters.

Logging

You can select several types of messages to be logged for the Backup & Restore service: critical messages, error messages, warning messages, informational messages and protocol communication. To select which of these are to be logged click the Log Level slider and move it to the left or to the right, the selected types of messages will change color from whiter to gray.

Log files can be stored using your internal log files, your system's log files or within the log files located on a remote system. Use the Log drop-down menu to select where to have your log files saved.

Error Control

To set a maximum number of errors caused by invalid commands received from clients or by failed authentication attempts check the respective options in the Error Control area of the Backup & Restore service. Use the up and down arrows corresponding to each of these options to set a specific number of errors.

Thread Management

Thread management allows you to set different numbers of processing threads for the Backup & Restore service depending on your traffic load. First, using the up and down arrows, set a number of threads to be allotted when the Backup & Restore service is started. To have a different number of threads for peak periods check the overload option and use the up and down arrows to choose the thread number.

When you are done configuring these parameters, remember to hit the Save Configuration button to preserve your changes.
