Choose Administration→NE Maintenance→Backup/Restore from the NFM-P main menu. The Backup/Restore form opens.

Click on the Backup/Restore Status tab. Depending on the operation type, the Backup State, Restore State, or Config Save State column displays the current operation status for each listed NE, which is one of the following:

• Not Attempted—The operation has not begun.

• Saving Config—The NE is saving the configuration.

• Transferring Files—A file transfer is in progress.

• Success—The operation is complete and successful.

• Failure—The operation is complete but unsuccessful.

• CPM Sync and Pending Reboot—The device configuration is restored and the NE is synchronizing the CPMs before a reboot.

• CPM Sync and Pending Reboot Standby—The NFM-P awaits the reboot of the standby CPM.

• Standby Reboot and Pending Redundant Switch-over—The NFM-P awaits the switchover to the standby CPM.

• MPR reboot pending—The NFM-P awaits the reboot of a Wavence NE.

Note: During a backup, if an NE is unresponsive to the NFM-P because SNMP on the NE is disabled, the Backup State column entry for the NE does not immediately display the correct value of Failed. This latency is caused by the inability of the NFM-P to communicate with the unresponsive NE. In such a situation, the Backup State column displays the Saving Config status until three 10-minute SNMP polling periods, or 30 minutes, have elapsed, after which the Backup State changes to Failed if SNMP remains disabled.

To view more information about the operations performed on an NE, select the NE and click Properties. The NE Backup/Restore Status form opens. The Last Operation Details indicator describes the most recent operation type.

Click on the Backups tab to display a list of the recent device backups, if required.

Click on the Configuration Saves tab to view information about recent configuration saves, if required.

Close the forms.
