Using the System Viewer Utility 91
– the passphrase must contain the following combination of
characters— at least 1 title case character, at least 1 lower case
character, at least 1 special character, and at least one numeric
character.
If the Export File location is a network share, you have to specify the
backup file prefix. This prefix must be unique for a system or a collection.
The backup file is appended with the hostname of the system and saved in
the following format:
<prefix><hostname>
. For example, if the prefix
you specify is ABC123, and the hostname of the system is ABCDEFG, the
backup file is saved as ABC123-ABCDEFG.

link to view any previously created
backup files prefixes.
NOTE: If you have specified a file name that is the same as an earlier backup
file, the utility prompts you to specify a different file name to avoid overwriting an
existing file. If the same file name prefix is given at the System Level and also at the
Collection Level, for a same share location, it is overwritten without a prompt.

Importing the System Profile
This feature enables you to import the backup of the firmware and
configuration of a system, and restore it to the same system where the backup
was taken from.
You can use this feature only if you have taken a backup image of the system
profile before.
NOTE: If you replace the motherboard of the system, make sure you re-install the
hardware back in the same location. For example, install the NIC PCI card in the
same PCI slot that you used during backup.
Optionally, you can delete the current virtual disk configuration and restore
the configuration from the backup image file.
