5620 SAM
System Administrator Guide
3 Perform one of the following.
a On a RHEL station, enter the following:
bash$ tar cf - --exclude='backup' /opt/5620sam/nebackup/ | g
zip -c >/opt/5620sam/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/5620sam/nebackup/backup directory, where YYYY-MM-DD-hh-mm is
the file creation time.
b On a Solaris station, enter the following:
bash$ tar cfEX - path/nebackup/backup/Exclude path/nebackup |
gzip -c >path/nebackup/backup/nebackup_`date +"%Y-%m-%d-%H-
%M"`.tgz
where path is the 5620 SAM installation location, typically /opt/5620sam
A compressed archive file named YYYY-MM-DD-hh-mm.tgz is created in the
path/nebackup/backup directory, where YYYY-MM-DD-hh-mm is the file
creation time.
4 When the backup operation is complete, copy the file to a secure station that is
not part of the 5620 SAM system. If you lack access to such a station, and the
5620 SAM system is redundant, copy the file to the standby main server station.
5 Close the console window.
Procedure 14-13 To restore the NE configuration files
1 Log in to the standalone or primary main server station as the samadmin user.
2 Open a console window.
Note — If you intend to copy and paste a command from this step into
the console window, ensure that you remove the line breaks from the
command text before you paste the text.
Note — Depending on the size and number of NE configuration files, a
restore operation may take considerable time.
