Chapter 11 Backing Up and Restoring BCM50 Data 291
BCM50 Administration Guide
You can restore a backup to a different system; for example, to quickly bring a second system into
service in a new installation. In this case, not all of the configuration information in the
Configuration backup is relevant to the second system. You can select whether to restore
device-specific configuration information, such as network settings. You may wish to exclude
certain components from being restored. For example, the network settings are often excluded
from a restore operation to avoid giving two machines on your network the same identity.
Backup information can be restored only to another unit that has the same software release level. If
the second unit has an older software release level, you can use the Reset button on the BCM50
front panel to reset the BCM50 unit to the factory default software level and default configuration
settings. You can then apply software updates to bring the unit to the same software release level
as that of the unit from which the backup was taken.
For information about applying software updates to the BCM50, see Chapter 13, “Managing
BCM50 Software Updates,” on page 323.
The BCM50 verifies that the software release level of the unit to which the backup is being applied
is consistent with the software release level of the backup file. If a potential issue is detected, the
BCM Element Manager provides you with an error message.
