Performing a manual backup
Performing a manual backup
Whenever a new device is added to the AMF network or when the configuration has
changed on a member node, it is always advisable to perform a manual backup from the
AMF master in order to ensure the removable media installed on the master node has an up
to date backup of all nodes within the AMF.
To perform a manual backup of the entire AMF network, on the AMF master enter the
command atmf backup now:
AMF_Master#atmf backup now
Backup successfully initiated
AMF_Master#
To check the status of the AMF backup use the command show atmf backup.
Example output of the show atmf backup command during backup:
Example output of the show atmf backup command after backup has completed:
Note: The file system used by the AMF backup does not support the backing up of files that
have the same name but have different case (e.g. “test.txt” and “TEST.txt”), and only
one of these files will be stored in the backup. For this reason it is recommended that
all files on a node have unique file names.
