Netflow Analyzer 9 on Linux x64

Netflow Analyzer 9 on Linux x64

I just had my Netflow Analyzer (NFA) server go down, hardware failure.  I need to be able to recover from that in minutes or hours, not days ans weeks.  I have the new server up and running now, but it was very time intensive.  I realize I can't switch architecture, but now that I am on a Linux architecture, I need to be able back up the settings and configuration at very least.  I saw a post about how to backup NFA from 2 years ago, but I am not clear if that was only for migration of data, or to create a backup for settings.

I will be working on an automated way to stop NFA and get an automated backup including the data, but in the event that I can't get the DB shutdown, and capture the files properly in short order, I need to have the configuration so I can just spin up a new device, install NFA on linux, and restore the existing configs (including reports). 

Where can I capture just the configuration settings such as devices, IP groups, server settings, etc?  In the event that I need to trash the data, what do I need to have to replace my existing settings?  I need to be able to backup with and without the database in an automated way.  How can I make that happen?

Thanks.
