Infoblox Grid configuration must be backed up on a regular basis.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>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.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
