4 Configure the Policy Type parameter.
5 If you set the Policy Type parameter to SR Based Node, you can perform a reboot
after the configuration is restored on the device by specifying the Auto-Reboot
After Successful Restore parameter.
6 Configure the parameters in the Backup Triggering, Backup Settings, and Backup
Purging panels. You can schedule backups based on a time interval or on the
number of configuration saves initiated by the 5620 SAM.
Backup purging parameters allow you to specify the number of backup files kept.
These settings allow you to eliminate manual monitoring and deletion of backup
files. The purge criteria can be the number of files, the age of the files, or both.
Note — For the Policy Type parameter, select SR Based Node for the
7210 SAS, 7450 ESS, 7705 SAR, 7710 SR, 7750 MG, 7950 XRS, 9500 MPR,
or 9500 MPRe.
Caution 1 — When you use the 5620 SAM client GUI to restore a
managed device configuration, and you disable the Auto-Reboot After
Successful Restore parameter, there is a risk that the bof.cfg file may
be overwritten if a user performs “bof save” using CLI on the managed
device.
When there is a lapse between a device restore and a reboot, use the
device CLI to view the bof and ensure that it has not been modified
since the restore.
Caution 2 — For the 9500 MPR or 9500 MPRe, you must enable the
Auto-Reboot After Successful Restore parameter in order for the
restored configuration to be activated on the NE after the reboot. If the
Auto-Reboot After Successful Restore parameter is not enabled, the
restored configuration is not activated on the NE after the reboot or
when the NE is rebooted at a later date.
Note 1 — For SR based nodes, to enable the CLI Debug Save Config File
Mode parameter, you must specify the location of the debug
configuration files in the 5620 SAM main server configuration. See
chapter 5 for more information.
Note 2 — If the Backup 7705 Radio Database parameter is enabled, the
9500 MPT radio databases are backed up along with the configuration
file, depending on the CLI Config File Mode setting. The backup of the
9500 MPT radio databases is supported only on the 7705 SAR-8 or
7705 SAR-18.
Note 3 — For an OmniSwitch, the 5620 SAM can back up only
configuration files stored in the certified directory. If you need to back
up configuration files in the working directory, you must ensure that the
files in the certified and working directories are identical. See the
5620 SAM User Guide to perform a Certify or Certify and Synchro
command before you back up the OmniSwitch configuration files.
