Performing Backup and Restore on the CDSM Database
The CDSM stores CDS network-wide device configuration information in its Centralized Management
System (CMS) database. You can manually back up the CMS embedded database contents for greater
system reliability.
To back up the CMS database for the CDSM, use the cms database backup EXEC command.
Note The naming convention for backup files includes the timestamp.
To back up and restore the CMS database on the CDSM, do the following:
Step 1 Back up the CMS database to a file.
CDE# cms database backup
creating backup file backup-db-11-06-2007-13-10.dump
backup file local1/backup-db-11-06-2007-13-10.dump is ready.
Please use ‘copy’ commands to move the backup file to a remote host.
Step 2 Save the file to a remote server by using the copy disk ftp command. This command copies the file from
the local disk to a remote FTP server, as shown in the following example:
CDE# cd /local1
CDE# copy disk ftp 10.86.32.82 /incoming cds-db-9-22-2002-17-36.dump
cds-db-9-22-2002-17-36.dump
