872 Backing Up / Restoring
3 Select the desired network elements in the table and then click on the Restore… button. The
restoration form appears.
The table in the center of the screen shows a list of historical backups. You can use the
buttons to its right to
View, Compare , or Export files. The comparison lets you compare two
versions of a backup file. See Comparing Files on page 864 for further discussion about this
feature.
Use the
Configuration combo box to select from the list of configuration files valid for that
particular network element row. The
Go button below the table queries the database for the
history, and can refresh the list.
The appearance of the
Vendor Configuration section of this screen depends on the type of
equipment you are restoring. For example, it can display a file name for this vendor’s
configuration, and a checkbox that enables a device reboot after restoration. Hover the cursor
over the available alternatives for additional information.
Notice there are buttons that let you
View , Export, or Compare selected files. You must select
more than one before you can
Compare.
4 Select the Configuration File and the Version to be restored for each network element.
To begin restoration, either click on the
Restore button to start the restore process, or click the
Schedule button to launch the Scheduler form. Clicking the Cancel button returns you to the
previous screen.
