• Current information on last backup is displayed on the top, e.g.2.12.2015 - Backup Completed Successfully
• Server backups: recommended settings are: Full backup = Weekly, and Count of system backup archives = 3 (at least). Following each successful backup, an email is sent to system email address as specified in Settings Syst. settings General, ID admin_email
• Router backups: All routers are text-backed up, Mikrotik-type routers can also be backed up in binary format
• Storing in FTP: it is highly recommended to store backups elsewhere. We also recommend to turn on Secure FTP for encrypted transmission of backups

2. LINUX

2.1 Change of default passwords after installation

• root password to SSH
• user password for root and ispadmin to the database (if you keep default password, ISPadmin displays a warning after login)

2.2 backup encryption

• If not set, ISPadmin displays a warning after login along with an instruction how to set it up ( /usr/local/script/ispadmin/ispadmin_backup_crypt.pl )

3. IN GENERAL

• Do not install third-party SW, if possible
• Install ISPadmin on inner network behind outer firewall which filters incoming communication (SSH)
• Do not add other users to OS Linux
• Update ISPadmin to the latest version
