Broker checkpoints saves a snapshot of the configuration to a local file within the Broker. The snapshot can be used to restore the configuration in an event that a configuration change is made which inadvertently effects the operation of the Broker.

Checkpoints do not negate the need to perform an image-level backup of the Broker appliance using your backup software.

This article describes the steps required to perform and manage checkpoints.
