Kaspersky Machine Learning for Anomaly Detection

Backing up the application

You can back up the application in accordance with your company regulations. You can back up Kaspersky MLAD when updating the application, if needed.

The application is backed up with the help of the backup.sh script. The Kaspersky MLAD backup procedure saves all of the following data that was uploaded, received, or processed by Kaspersky MLAD: tag configurations, presets, ML models, and settings of Kaspersky MLAD.

A user account in the Kaspersky MLAD server operating system must have root access to back up the application.

Prior to starting the backup, you must make sure that at least 50% of the hard drive space is free if you are saving the backup copy to the hard drive where the application is installed. If the backup copy is saved to another drive, you must make sure that this drive has enough free space necessary for installing Kaspersky MLAD.

Kaspersky MLAD backup capabilities are available starting with application version 5.0.0-001.

To back up Kaspersky MLAD:

1. Go to the directory where Kaspersky MLAD is installed:

   cd mlad-release-5.0.0-<build number>

2. Run the backup.sh script using one of the following methods:
   • If you want to save a backup copy in the directory where the application is installed, run the following command:

     sudo ./backup.sh -f <full path to application directory>

     The backup copy will be created in a directory named mlad_backup-<version number>-<build number>. The directory will be created within the directory where the application is installed.

   • If you need to save the backup copy to another directory, run the following command:

     sudo ./backup.sh -b <full path to backup directory> -f <full path to application directory>

3. Follow the instructions of the backup wizard.

To back up Kaspersky MLAD in non-interactive mode:

1. Go to the directory where Kaspersky MLAD is installed:

   cd mlad-release-5.0.0-<build number>

2. Run the backup.sh script by doing one of the following:
   • If you want to save a backup copy in the directory where the application is installed, run the following command:

     sudo ./backup.sh -q -f <full path to application directory>

     The backup copy will be created in a directory named mlad_backup-<version number>-<build number>. The directory will be created within the directory where the application is installed.

   • If you need to save the backup copy to another directory, run the following command:

     sudo ./backup.sh -q -b <full path to backup directory> -f <full path to application directory>

   where:

   -q means that the application will be backed up in non-interactive mode.

   -b <full path to the backup directory> means Kaspersky MLAD will save the backup in that directory.

   -f <full path to application directory> means that the application installed in that directory will be backed up.
