FIGURE 5-13 Recurring Backup Schedule Window - File
In Figure 5-13, the backup has been scheduled for Sunday morning at 4 a.m. every week. Clicking Finish adds the backup to
the schedule.
Note: It is highly recommended that you configure your device configuration backup to run on a recurring schedule to preserve
configuration changes made by the NMS. If a device reboot or, in the case of iMAP devices, a database purge occurs, any
configuration data that is not backed up will be lost. With regularly scheduled backups, should such an event occur, you can
restore your configuration changes from the backup files.
