FIGURE 5-14 Recurring Backup Schedule Window - File
In Figure 5-14, 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.
