Backing Up Data Files
We strongly recommend that you back up your NetSight Element Manager files on a
regular basis. The Scheduler will do that automatically (see the Scheduler chapter in the
Tools Guide for more information). This section describes how you can also perform this
function manually, with the Data File Manager.
The Data File Manager is preset to backup specified files and file types in five directories
located in the \NetSight Element Manager x.x directory: \Data, \Bin, \Filters (and its
automatically-created subdirectories), \Maps (or your configured Maps directory), and
\Export (or your configured Exported Files directory). An editable configuration file
determines the specific files and file types that will be backed up; you can edit this file to
add additional files or file types, but they must reside in one of the five directories
specified above.
