Backing Up and Restoring Files
Backing Up and Restoring a Database
Press
[C]
at the Operations Menu (or
[B], [C]
from the Main Menu) to display the fol-
lowing list of backup and restore operations:
A Back up the Current Database to a Remote FRX6000
B Back up the Current Database to a Remote FRX4000/SS1800
C Restore the Backed-Up Database to a Remote FRX4000/SS1800
D Back up the Database to a Local Directory
E Restore the Database from a Local Directory
Remote Backup and Restore (Items A–C)
Items A and B are used to back up a remote node’s database to a local node that has
control of the remote node. Both operations require first taking remote control (
[B], [A],
[A]
from the Main Menu) of the node whose database will be backed up. Item A allows
copying the database to a directory on the hard disk or a diskette. Item B copies the
database to flash memory on the local SmartSwitch.
These operations place a heavy load on the SmartSwitch 1800's
central processor, and should be performed only when there is
minimal traffic on the node.
Item C is used to restore the database that was backed up using item B. The database
will automatically be copied from and to the correct directories.
Local Backup and Restore (Items D, E)
Items D and E are used to back up a node’s database to a local backup directory, then
restore the database into the original directory. If the directory does not exist, it will
be created.
These operations can be performed on a local or remote (via remote control) node, but
in either case the operations affect the node under operator control.
