Configuring the Director

Director Product Manager User Guide
Backing Up and Restoring Configuration Data
You can back up the NV-RAM configuration, which includes all of the data you
input through instructions in this chapter, using the
Backup and Restore
Configuration
option. This option is available through the
Maintenance
menu.
Selecting this option backs up the configuration data to a file on the HAFM server
hard drive. The restore function writes this data back to NV-RAM on the switch.
Using the restore function overwrites the existing configuration. For more
information, refer to “
Backup and Restore Configuration
” on page 180.
In addition to the
Backup and Restore Configuration
option, the backup
application automatically backs up configuration and other critical data from the
HAFM server. As long as backup media remains in the backup drive of the
HAFM server (either an Iomega Zip drive or internal CD-RW drive, depending on
your HAFM server platform), data is written to the backup media whenever the
directory contents change or you reboot the HAFM server. For more information,
refer to “
Backing Up and Restoring Product Manager Data
” on page 64.
Note:
We do not recommend changing the default backup settings.
Note:
To ensure trouble-free backups, it is imperative that you leave the backup
media in the drive at all times. Removing the media during a backup or restore can
corrupt the database on the media. Make sure that data is not being written to or read
from the backup drive before you remove the backup media by observing the
following:
The Iomega QuikSync icon in the Windows system tray spins when data is being
written to or read from the Zip drive.
The CD-RW drive write LED flashes when data is being written to disk.
