Note that the file system used by the AMF backup does not support the backing up of files
that have the same name but have different case (e.g. “test.txt” and “TEST.txt”), and only
one of these files will be stored in the backup. For this reason we recommend that all files
on a node be given unique file names.
Backups on a VCStack Plus running as AMF masters on an
SBx8100
This section is only applicable in configurations that are NOT using remote backup servers.
When a VCStack is operating as an AMF master node, AMF backups will only occur on the
external removable media of the CFC that is the stack master. Therefore, in the event of a
CFC failure, the new VCS master CFC will have no access to this backup information.
To avoid this situation, you can either configure a remote backup file server or use trigger
scripts to automatically perform a manual backup of the AMF network following a failover
event. This section explains how to use trigger scripts to automatically apply a manual
backup. To apply the remote file server solution see “Backing up to Remote Servers” on
page 142.
Example 1 This example uses a manual backup activation script called triggered-atmfbackup.scp.
When activated, this script applies the following commands to initiate a network backup:
AMF_Master#show atmf backup
Scheduled Backup ...... Enabled
Schedule ............ 1 per day starting at 03:00
Next Backup Time .... 13 Dec 2013 03:00
Backup Media .......... USB (Total 3692.6MB, Free 1651.1MB)
Current Action ........ Idle
