CHAPTER 7. SYSTEM BACKUP FOR DEFINITY G1 AND G3i
Tape Backup for a System With the Duplication Option
Four cassette tapes are provided with the system.
It is recommended that backup copies of
the translation data be made weekly,
or after many changes have been made to the translation
data. This will minimize the loss of recent translation data changes if the cassette tapes in the
system become damaged.
The following procedure can be used to make backup tapes:
1. Remove the two original cassette tapes from the tape drives.
2. Insert the two backup cassette tapes into the tape drives.
3. Login to the terminal.
4. Verify that the screen displays:
enter command:
5. Enter
save translations
and press [RETURN]. This command instructs the system to
take all translation information in memory and write it onto the two cassette tapes.
6. The screen displays:

FIGURE 7-4. Save Translation—SPE_B
Administration Nets:
The active SPE's completion status is always displayed first.
During the save trans-
lation, as illustrated in the above screen,
SPE_B
is
displayed as the active SPE in
the upper right corner of the screen.
Verify that a
0
is displayed for SPE_B and SPE_A in the
Error Code
column. A
0
indicates that the save translation was a success for each tape drive. If a
0
did not
appear for SPE_B and SPE_A, the save translation did not complete. Record the “error
code number” and the “error message” for the SPE that did not have a
0
and notify
maintenance support.
If the system is equipped with a TN750 Announcement circuit pack the recorded
announcements can be saved using the
save announcement
commands. Enter

and press [RETURN].
