ISE Backup Types

In Cisco ISE there are two kinds of backups, Configuration and Operational. Why are there two kinds and what is the difference between the two?

Configuration backups are what you need to restore your ISE configuration. Operational backups are the log/session data. I typically only do the configuration backups. All I care about is recovering the configuration. Is the customer has hard requirements for log retention then maybe operational backups are warranted, but typically in those cases the customer has a SIEM that ISE logs to and they can build their log retention policy on the SIEM.

Let's not forget that the config data backups also contain all the system logs on the PAN.

Yes folks. Because I need GB's of Java error logs to restore my configuration

Hi,

As far as the operational backup data...does that includes profiled endpoints or anything like this?

Also when backed up doesn't it first store local before sending to repository? Is that in /opt folder?

Thanks
