FIGURE 5-11 Copy Device List for an Application - File
The example shown in Figure 5-11 would occur if the user has previously collected data for devices 172.16.33.14 and
172.16.33.15, and then right-clicks device 172.16.33.16 for the SNMP Community application. The Application window
appears showing the devices that have already had data collected, and the Copy Device List also appears with the following
options:
• Replace - Replace the target application device list with the source application device list. In this case, the 172.16.33.14
and .15 devices are replaced with the .16 as a Selected Device.
• Add Only - Add the .16 device to the other two devices.
• Remove Only - Remove devices from the target list that are not in the source list. In this case, the .14 and .15 devices
would be removed.
5.3.2 Backup/Restore (with Purge Button)
5.3.2.1 Overview
The Device Backup/Restore option creates a current configuration data backup file for each managed device.
Note: Devices selected that are not supported will not appear in the Selected Devices list when the Device
Backup/Restore application is selected.
The user can add or remove devices to the list of selected devices, as explained in 5.3.1. Once all of devices for the device
backup restore are in the Selected Devices column, click the Collect Data icon. The AlliedView NMS begins gathering data,
the Stop icon is highlighted, and as the data is collected they are added to the device table, as shown in the following figure.
