Chapter 4 Configuring Virtual Contexts
Performing Device Backup and Restore Functions
Prerequisites
If you are going to restore the Admin context files plus all user context files, use a backup file that was
created from the Admin context with the Backup All Contexts check box checked (see the “Backing Up
Device Configuration and Dependencies” section on page 4-52).
Procedure
Step 1 Choose Config > Virtual Contexts > System > Backup / Restore.
The Backup / Restore table appears.
Note To refresh the table content at any time, click Poll Now.
Note When you perform the restore process from the Admin context, you can either restore the Admin
context files only or you can restore the Admin context files plus all user context files. When
you perform the restore process from a user context, you can restore the current context files
only.
The Backup / Restore fields are described in Table 4-14.
Step 2 Click Restore.
The Restore window appears.
Note The display of the Restore window may be delayed because the Device Manager is retrieving
the list of the disk0: archive (*.tgz) files.
Step 3 In the Restore window, click the desired radio button to specify the location where the backup files are
located saved:
• Choose a backup file on the ACE (disk0:)—This is the default. Go to Step 9.
• Choose a backup file from remote system—The Remote System attributes step appears. Go to
Step 4.
Step 4 Click the radio button of the transfer protocol to use:
• FTP—File Transfer Protocol
• SFTP—Secure File Transfer Protocol
• TFTP—Trivial File Transfer Protocol
Step 5 In the Username field, enter the username that the remote file system requires for user authentication.
This field appears for FTP and SFTP only.
Step 6 In the Password field, enter the password that the remote file system requires for user authentication.
This field appears for FTP and SFTP only.
Step 7 In the IP Address field, enter the IP address of the remote server.
Step 8 In the Backup File Path in Remote System field, enter the full path of the backup file, including the
backup filename, to be copied from the remote server.
Step 9 Check the Restore All Contexts check box if you want the ACE to restore the files for every context or
uncheck the check box to restore the Admin context files only.
