Note If using Internet Explorer, when you attempt a backup operation from a secure HTTP session using
the HTTP protocol, you may receive the following error message, even though the document is available
and downloaded from the server:
Internet Explorer cannot download filename from <site name>. Internet Explorer was not able to open this
Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later.
This error happens due to security limitations with Internet Explorer. Recent versions do not have this
problem. To perform the operation, configure the following settings in your browser:
1. Click Tools > Internet Options and display the Advanced tab.
2. In the Security settings, select Do not save encrypted pages to disk.
3. Try the backup operation again.
4. After the backup operation is complete, restore your settings to the original values to avoid Web
performance issues.
If you use a browser other than Microsoft Internet Explorer, such as Firefox or Mozilla, the download
of the attachment should work as expected.
