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

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

Select a connection profile from the Profile pull-down menu and proceed to Step 5. OR Enter information for a new profile as follows:

1. In the Server panel, select IP and enter the address of the SFTP server.

2. If necessary, enter the port (default is blank). Defining the port is not required for the backup to execute successfully. However, a value of 22 is valid if entered.

3. In the User panel, enter the user name and password for your SFTP server.

If you entered connection information in Step 3 and wish to keep the information for future backups:

1. Enter a new name in the Profile menu.

2. Click Add to add the profile to the list.

3. Click Save to save the list.

Entries to the Profile pull-down menu may be changed using the Modify, Apply, and Save buttons or removed using the Delete button.

In the Source/Destination Directory Path field, enter the path where you want to save the backup file, starting at the SFTP home directory on the server.

Click OK.

You will be asked to verify that you wish to backup to the directory that you entered above. Click Yes if you entered the path correctly.

Result:

The Progress Indicator appears to indicate that the backup is in progress. When the backup completes, a WaveStar^® CIT information screen appears that indicates Remote Backup Successful. Click OK. The backup file is now stored at the location you defined.
