Backing Up and Restoring PAM Configuration Files
As Customer Administrator, you are advised to regularly save PAM configuration data to a
removable media or to a network directory so that it can be rapidly restored in the event of
PAP unit failure.
PAM software can be deployed on any standard PC running the appropriate version of
Microsoft Windows and you can restore your configuration data to rebuild your working
environment.
To ensure carefree, reliable and regular configuration data backup, the Bull NovaScale
Server Resource CD contains two scripts, PamBackupData.js and PamRestoreData.js, that can
be scheduled to run via the Microsoft Windows Task Scheduler to save and restore PAM
configuration data.
Notes:
• PAM configuration data is automatically saved to the default PAM Site Data directory on
the PAP unit:
<WinDrive>:\Program Files\BULL\PAM\PAMSiteData\<DataCompatibilityRelease>
• The PamBackupData.js and PamRestoreData.js scripts are stored in the PAM Site Data
directory on the PAP unit:
<WinDrive>:\Program Files\BULL\PAM\PAMSiteData\ReleaseData\Utilities
Backing Up PAM Configuration Files
To create a Microsoft Windows automatic backup task:
1. Select or create the local or network directory to be used for saving configuration data,
e.g. <MyPamBackupDirectory>.
2. Create a local directory for the PamBackupData.js and PamRestoreData.js script files,
e.g. <MyPamBackupTools>.
3. Copy the PamBackupData.js and PamRestoreData.js script files into the
<MyPamBackupTools> directory.
4. Create a Text File and enter the following command line:
Cscript PamBackupData.js <MyPamBackupDirectory>
5. Save the Text File as a batch file with a .BAT extension,
e.g. <MyPamBackupCommand>.bat.
6. Click Control Panel → Scheduled Tasks → Add Scheduled Task to open the Task Scheduler
wizard and follow the instructions. PAM configuration data will be automatically saved at
the interval indicated in the wizard.
