Maintenance Routine
Creating a System Backup
To create a backup of VCS system data:
1. Go to Maintenance > Backup and restore.
2. Optionally, enter an Encryption password with which to encrypt the backup file.
If a password is specified, the same password will be required to restore the file.
3. Click Create system backup file.
4. After the backup file has been prepared, a pop-up window appears and prompts you to save the file (the exact
wording depends on your browser). The default name is in the format:
<software version>_<hardware serial number>_<date>_<time>_backup.tar.gz.
(The file extension is normally .tar.gz.enc if an encryption password is specified. However, if you use Internet
Explorer to create an encrypted backup file, the filename extension will be .tar.gz.gz by default. These
different filename extensions have no operational impact; you can create and restore encrypted backup files
using any supported browser.)
The preparation of the system backup file may take several minutes. Do not navigate away from this page
while the file is being prepared.
5. Save the file to a designated location.
Log files are not included in the system backup file.
