We have PCI-DSS requirement that we need to store 1 year data into an archive storage then restore the last three month data. How can we be able to populate the 3 month data and load into LEM web interface?
How to configure backups from LEM is detailed here:
Configure Backups on LEM Appliance - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support
Restoring backups for review and reporting requires intervention from Support.
Thanks for the answer.
For this statement "Restoring backups for review and reporting requires intervention from Support." how can we deal with this from our own without asking support during our PCI-DSS audit?
At this time (6.2.1) there isn't a means for a customer to restore the DB backups themselves. That may be a feature in the future, but right now there's no way to restore the DB backups without help from Solarwinds Support.
Do you have any suggestion to provide the solution for PCI-DSS 3.0 requirement 10.7?
10.7 Retain audit trail history for at least one year, with a minimum of three months immediately available for analysis (for example, online, archived, or restorable from backup).
How can we provide on-the-spot evidence during our PCI-DSS QSA if this approach requires intervention from Solarwinds Support?
The file store for the cold storage is going to be a CIFS or SMB share on a server of your choosing, so you can easily show that you have years of data (by creation/modification date) in that location. Support is aware of these requirements and will promptly assist with this process if your auditor needs to see more.
Thanks man for assurance.
