How do I back up the NE configuration files?
Note: Depending on the size and number of NE configuration files, a backup operation may take considerable time.
Steps
1 |
Log in to the standalone main server station, or the primary main server station in a redundant deployment, as the nsp user. |
2 |
Open a console window. |
3 |
Enter the following: bash$ mkdir /opt/nsp/nfmp/nebackup/backup ↵ |
4 |
Enter the following: Note: If you intend to copy and paste the command from this step into the console window, ensure that you remove the line breaks from the command text before you paste the text. bash$ tar cf - --exclude='backup' /opt/nsp/nfmp/nebackup/ | gzip -c >/opt/nsp/nfmp/nebackup/backup/nebackup_`date +"%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M"`.tgz ↵ A compressed archive file named YYYY-MM-DD-hh-mm.tgz is created in the /opt/nsp/nfmp/nebackup/backup directory, where YYYY-MM-DD-hh-mm is the file creation time. |
5 |
When the backup operation is complete, copy the file to a secure station that is not part of the NFM-P system. If you lack access to such a station, and the NFM-P system is redundant, copy the file to the standby main server station. |
6 |
Close the console window. End of steps |
