110 CHAPTER 6: BACKUP, RESTORE AND SETUP
The options are:
■ Backup all 3Com devices — backs up all of the supported 3Com
devices in the current inventory file. 3Com recommends that you use
this backup type on the first occasion that you use the Device Backup
Wizard. By choosing this backup type you will ensure that you have a
saved configuration for all your supported devices.
■ Backup all devices of the type — backs up all devices of the
specified type in the current inventory file. You may wish to use this
backup type after adding and configuring a large number of devices
of a particular type on your network.
■ Custom — which allows you to choose which of the supported 3Com
devices in your network you wish to back up. 3Com recommends that
you backup any major change you make to the configuration of your
devices.
The wizard uses your current selection from the inventory file as the basis
for the custom selection.
Specify Devices to Backup Step
You can manage your device configuration backups by labelling your
backups and providing comments for them as shown in Figure 49
.
