Figure 8-1 5620 SAM backup process
Figure 8-1 illustrates the activities of the 5620 SAM backup/restore process. The
labels correspond to events in the following sequence:
1 At the interval specified—every hour in this example—the 5620 SAM issues an
FTP or SCP request to all devices for a backup.
2 The devices use FTP or SCP to send the BOF and configuration files to the
5620 SAM server.
3 The 5620 SAM main server stores the received files.
4 An operator using a 5620 SAM client uses the Backup/Restore Status tab of the
Backup Policy form to view the backup status.
5 If the 5620 SAM system is a redundant configuration, the active server
synchronizes the backed-up information with the standby server.
6 A 5620 SAM operator uses the Backup/Restore form to perform on-demand and
scheduled device backups, restores, and configuration saves, as required.
7 A third-party application periodically sends a copy of the backup files from the
5620 SAM server to a remote storage facility for safekeeping.
