Performing Device Backup and Restore Functions
– All files dependencies for the context exist in the full backup archive
• To enable the ACE Device Manager to synchronize the CLI after a successful restore, do not
navigate from the Backup / Restore page until the Latest Restore status changes from In Progress to
Success. If you navigate to another page before the restore process is complete, the CLI will not
synchronize until you return to the Backup / Restore page or until the automatic or manual CLI CLI
synchronization occurs.
Defaults
Table 4-13 lists the default settings for the backup and restore function parameters.
This section includes the following topics:
• Backing Up Device Configuration and Dependencies, page 4-52
• Restoring Device Configuration and Dependencies, page 4-55
Backing Up Device Configuration and Dependencies
You can create a backup of an ACE configuration and its dependencies.
Note When you perform the backup process from the Admin context, you can either back up the Admin
context files only or you can back up the Admin context and all user contexts. When you back up from
a user context, you back up the current context files only and cannot back up the ACE licenses.
Note If your web browser supports the Remember Passwords option and you enable this option, the web
browser may fill in the Username and Password fields for user authentication. By default, these fields
should be empty. You can change the username and password fields from whatever the web browser
inserts into the two fields.
Procedure
