Examples This section provides some examples of how to use Backup, Restore and

Scheduling a Device
Backup Operation
As part of your disaster recovery plan, you have decided that you need a
backup of the software configuration of all devices on your network. You
decide to schedule the operation to take place out of work hours to
minimize the impact of the extra traffic on the network. To do this:
1 Ensure that all of the devices on your network are present in the current
inventory file. You can check this by re-importing an updated device list
from HP OpenView. See “
Importing from HP OpenView” in Chapter 5 for
further details.
2 Launch the Device Backup Wizard from the toolbar on the device
window. Select Next on the Introduction step to display the Backup Type
step as shown in Figure 48
3 Select the Backup all 3Com devices radio button to back up all of the
supported 3Com devices in the network, then select Next.
4 The wizard displays the Backup Identification step, where you can enter a
label and some comments that will help you to identify the backup if you
ever need to restore a saved configuration as shown in Figure 59
