NM Backup Utility
The NM Backup Utility is used to back up multiple configuration files, database and application
data of the Network Management Console, IP Office Manager, and Provisioning and Installation
Manager (PIM) for Gateways and PIM for IP Office applications. You can choose to back up one
or more applications as part of a backup job. This wizard helps you to setup a new backup job
or edit an existing one.
You can run the backup job immediately or schedule it to run later. When the backup operation
is complete, the utility creates a compressed archive and a text file with essential information
about the contents of the archive. The text file is only for your convenience and is not needed
during restore operation. You can choose to store the backup archive on a FTP server or locally
on the NM server while setting up the job.
