The system returns a response like the following:
Add a Scheduled Backup
----------------------
Enter the name of the backup:
Step 3 Enter the name of your backup.
Note The name of the backup must be 1 to 10 alphanumeric characters in length.
After you enter the name of your automatic backup, the system returns a response like the following:
Enter the directory to place the backup file (default=/dev/rmt/0):
Step 4 Enter the directory path where you want the backup file stored.
Note Your local tape drive is the default directory.
Note Do not store backup files on your local Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch. Storing backup files on the
local host reduces the amount of available disk space to process call data. Also, it does not ensure
that the data is safe if a natural disaster occurs.
Note If the path you enter is for a tape device, you must enter a new tape into the device for each
backup. The backup data on a used tape is overwritten by this operation.
