Backup and Restore Operations
Local and Remote Modes
The LCS60 allows the backup and restore of variable files in either local or
remote mode. The local mode uses the LCS60’s tape drive to copy variable confi-
guration files from the hard disk to a removable tape, and to restore configura-
tion files to the hard disk from a tape.
The LCS60 also provides a centralized backup/restore capability. Using this facility,
a single LCS60 configured as a backup/restore server can copy (back up) to its
hard disk the variable configuration files of multiple remote LCS60s (and
LCS50Es) that are configured as backup/restore clients. The backup is done
disk-to-disk over the data switch network. The files that are copied to a server
are the same as the files that would otherwise be copied to the local tape drive.
Backup/Restore (Tape) – Local Mode
To Back Up to Tape
The local backup/restore capability can be used at any time, by any LCS60,
whether it is a backup/restore client, a backup/restore server, or if it operates in
a network without a backup/restore server. This capability saves and restores
variable files by copying/reading them to/from removable tape cartridges that
have been inserted into the integral tape drive.
To access the local backup/restore functions:
1 . Enter lcsadm config backup at the root prompt.
2 . Select menu item 1 from the LCS60 Backup and Restore Configuration
menu shown in Screen 8-8. Screen 8-9 will be displayed.
