From the System View menu, select Configuration → Software → Remote Backup.

In the pull-down Backup To/Via: menu, select FTAM.

In the Source/Destination Directory Path field, enter \backups\<filename>.

You can also click the Browse button next to the Path: field to browse to any directory on your PC and over-write the default entry.

Important!

The value of the Path field can be either an absolute path or a relative path that is relative to the FTP server root directory. The absolute path must start with the drive name followed by a colon (:) then the path names; for example: C:\temp\today\backup. The syntax of the relative path must start with the path name; for example: \temp\backup.

The WaveStar^® CIT directory automatically enters the relative path for the WaveStar^® CIT. The default relative path is

C:\Program Files\Alcatel-Lucent\WaveStar CIT\

If you had an older WaveStar^® CIT installed prior to installing the current WaveStar^® CIT, the path could start with C:\Program Files\Lucent Technologies\.

If you wish to store your data in a subdirectory, enter \backups\<subdirectory>\<filename> if the subdirectory exists before the command is sent. If any directory in the path does not exist, the command is denied because this command does not create directories.

Click OK.

You are asked to verify that you wish to backup to the directory that you entered. Click Yes if you typed the path correctly.

Result:

The Progress Indicator screen appears, indicating that the backup is in progress. When the backup completes, a Remote Backup successful screen appears. Click OK. The backup file is now stored. If the default path and a subdirectory were used, the file can be found at:

C:\Program Files\Alcatel-Lucent\WaveStar CIT\backups\<subdirectory>\<filename>

If you had an older WaveStar^® CIT installed prior to installing the current WaveStar^® CIT, the path could start with C:\Program Files\Lucent Technologies\.
