The Infoblox Grid Master is the central point of management within an Infoblox Grid. The Grid Master retains a full copy of the configuration used for the entire Grid. In the event of system failure, a configuration backup must be preserved. An Infoblox Grid member may also be configured as a Grid Master Candidate, which is synchronized to the Grid Master. The Grid Master Candidate can be promoted in the event of system failure on the Grid Master. |

1. Navigate to Grid >> Grid Manager >> Members tab. 2. In the toolbar, click the drop-down menu for "Backup", "Schedule Backup". 3. Verify configuration of a remote backup option (TFTP, FTP, or SCP). Review the existence of backup files on the remote system. If a remote backup system is not configured, or a local backup procedure is not documented, this is a finding. If no remote or local backup is configured, but the Grid contains a Grid Master candidate, the severity of the finding is reduced. |
